Tim is a BNA Fellow….
@CoLEppingForest brilliant work, scrapes will be so benefical if you can do them, working wonders for the Essex Red Data List species, mottled grasshopper at Tiptree Heath. It was once found on Sunshine and Almshouse Plains and probably throughout the forest in 1940-80s.

How can you help? When visiting Long Running: 🔸Be aware: Machinery in operation, follow signs to keep safe. 🔸Be prepared: The results may initially look severe, but will deliver long-term benefits. 🔸Be gentle: #Heathland plants are sensitive to trampling, stick to paths.

Today #EppingForest's largest #heathland restoration project begins. Over 80% of this precious landscape has vanished from the British countryside over the last 200 years. From lizards to lichens to ling this work will help support the wildlife that call our heathlands home.

Good stand! BNA Essex also enjoyed networking there!
Great to connect with old friends and new at the Essex Field Club Annual Exhibition & Social! We loved: ✅ Sharing insights about our 2026 ecological monitoring. ✅ Hearing about the work happening for nature across Essex. ✅ Exploring the club's fascinating historical archive.

A short video from our encounter with some of the '27s' Orcas as they headed north out of Vidlin Voe, Shetland on Friday. Includes a few cameo appearances from the 14-month-old calf - the latest addition to the pod. @Seasaver @whalesorg @mcsuk @Mammal_Society @NLFerries
