We’re celebrating 7 years of #NaturalNetworks! 🥳🌿
Through a partnership with ourselves and Worcestershire County Council, Natural Networks work with communities and businesses across #Worcestershire to restore habitats and enhance wildlife corridors 👉 www.worcswildlifetrust.co.uk/news/celebra...
Photo of the underside of a house martin tower. Several mud nests can be seen under the eaves and there is blue sky overhead.
A photo of a house martin tower (a tall structure with nests on the top) in a green space with houses and the Malvern Hills in the background.
A house martin tower has been built in #Malvern thanks to funding from #NaturalNetworks and #MalvernHillsDistrictCouncil.
House martins need the eaves of our buildings to provide essential shelter for their mud nests - this tower will provide an additional safe space for them to set up home 🐦💙
We love a bit of texture in nature 🌿🪸
Our #NaturalNetworks colleague Becca spotted this poplar absolutely draped in #moss and #lichen in Churchill last week.
Our #NaturalNetworks colleague Finley noticed this jelly ear fungus in a hedgerow whilst visiting a site to see what wildlife enhancements could be made for the benefit of nature. This gelatinous fungus grows on dead and dying branches, most commonly on elder 🌳🍄

Welcome home! An owl box erected with funding from our #NaturalNetworks project has become home to a beautiful tawny owl 💚
NaturalNetworks is a partnership between the Trust and Worcestershire County Council to restore and create habitats for wildlife across #Worcestershire
3 photos - holes being drilled into a tree trunk (with some bark removed), a woodland with light coming through and an area of field that's been scarified and sown with seeds
Yay for Norton-juxta-Kempsey PC who've worked with our #NaturalNetworks team to do great things for wildlife 👏
-sown wildflower seeds
-planted 100s of bulbs in the woodland where they've thinned trees to allow light in
-created log piles & bee posts from felled trees
-installed bird & bat boxes
4 photos of people laying turf in and around an orchard next to a church
It’s not *just* turf, oh no 😁
The turf that our #NaturalNetworks team helped volunteers from Welland Parish Community to lay at #PursersOrchard contains 31 species of native wildflowers. Over the next few years this beautiful site will be a riot of colour 🌸🌼🪷🌺🥀

75ha of wildflower meadow created & 5¼ km of hedgerow planted by our #NaturalNetworks partnership with Worcestershire County Council - like this meadow created at The Leys in Honeybourne, which in summer is awash with oxeye daisy, black knapweed, bird’s-foot trefoil and meadow buttercup 🌸💚

Whoop! Nearly 131,500 have been planted by our #NaturalNetworks partnership with #WorcestershireCountyCouncil – like these snowdrops planted in Ryall on behalf of #Ripple Parish Council 🌼💚
