The days may be getting colder and the nights longer, but there is still plenty to see and do at our nature reserves and beyond this November!

This time of year treats us to some of our favourite nature spectacles - keep an eye out for winter migrant birds, stunning starling murmurations and woodlands continuing to transform through their vibrant autumn colours.

It's also the perfect time to get cosy: wrap up warm and enjoy a wildlife-friendly Bonfire Night celebration, get your Christmas lists ready, go shopping for gifts at our Artisan Markets, and much more...

After the fun of Halloween is over, it may seem like a nice idea to leave your pumpkin out for wildlife. Sadly this can often do more harm than good, causing disease to spread and making some species unwell.

Eating pumpkin makes hedgehogs in particular very poorly, causing diarrhoea and leaving them dehydrated. This can be fatal at this important time of year when they need to build up their energy for hibernation. 🦔

Here are a few alternative, eco-friendly ideas for what you can do with your Halloween pumpkin this year once the spooky festivities are done! 🎃

Happy Halloween 🎃

Get ready for Halloween with some spooky tales from the bog...🎃

Peatlands have always been surrounded my mystery and mythology - large expanses of land where people could be stuck or go missing in the wet peat, with mists that rise up from nowhere...hairs on the back of your neck already standing up?

Did you spot them? 🦇

Our Championing Nature project has been running a series of fun nature events in Wythenshawe as part of our annual Autumn Heartbeat Moment - including this wonderful bat walk. It was exactly the opposite of spooky as families got together using bat detectors to spot both common and soprano pipistrelle bats swooping through the sky above Kenworthy Woods 💚🦇💚

Championing Nature is made possible by Wimbledon and Emirates

A Mersey tidal barrage announcement is imminent. We support renewable energy, but not at the expense of wildlife.
The Mersey’s wetlands, habitats and wildlife are too important to risk. We’re calling for an independent commission to assess all tidal energy options and ensure the best outcome for nature, climate and local communities.
