🍄Take part in Find-a-Fungus 🍄

UK Fungus Day is coming up soon, and with it, the hunt for 20 common fungi!

📸 Between 2 and 16 October, snap some photos, and record your sightings on iNaturalist.

Your records will be shared with the British Mycological Society, supporting fungi conservation.

Fungi are nature's recyclers, breaking down dead matter, returning nutrients to the soil, and helping plants thrive. Despite their importance, many species remain under-recorded, so every observation counts.

Ever wondered what trees see? 👀

Kanchi's community led art project, ‘What the Trees See’, brings together ecology, creativity and curiosity to inspire people to see nature in a more personal way.

In a series of workshops, Kanchi provided handmade cyanotype 'cameras' for participants to create light images inspired by the woodland. Then, she hosted a craft session using cut outs from secondhand materials and pressed flowers to make collages with the community. The collective artwork will be put up in the local community centre. Watch this space!

This project is part of Andover Tree's new 'Explore the Wild' series, and supported by a Grow Wild Youth Grant.

Amazing transformation ! ✨

Artist-led studio and community organisation Assembly House have turned its rubble-filled courtyard into a new growing space, creatively reusing the bricks to landscape it. With a focus on encouraging nature, the new space will provide a place for volunteers and community members to get growing. 🌱 🪴 Happy to be supporting this project through the Grow Wild Community Programme!

Brilliant portable planters at creative community hub St Anne’s House in Bristol!🪴

With support from Grow Wild, St Anne's House has transformed its outdoor area with new wildflower areas and planters full of culinary and therapeutic pollinator plants like sorrel and yarrow.

We especially love the decorative wire sculptures made by the summer youth programme alongside a local environmental artist! ✨
