@Chilternstreams @thorneh @ARKennet Wetlands are among the most diverse habitats on Earth; 40% of all plant & animal species depend on them to live or breed. They store vast amounts of carbon – making them vital in controlling the impacts of climate change. (🧵4/4) #chilternsnationallandscape #WWD2025

@Chilternstreams @thorneh Mend the Gap has funded ~20k m2 (3 football pitches) of wetland in a former crop field on the Sulham Estate, in the south Chilterns. Wet-loving plant species will provide habitat for a variety of species, from dragonflies to wading birds. (🧵3/4) 📸 Sulham wetland (@ARKennet)

Worms 1 : Surveyors 0 🪱 A dedicated team were out surveying earthworms on farms in the central Chilterns yesterday when they had to run for cover due to a hail storm! Worm diversity gives a good indication of soil health, which is important to the farmers we work with.
