Last week, Main Stay partnered with The Land Conservancy of McHenry County for a weeding workday as part of their Conservation @Work program! Our wonderful garden volunteers cleaned up the native flower beds in front of the building and learned how to help native species prepare for the winter. Did you know that pollinating insects will nest in the stems of plants? Thank you to our awesome team of garden volunteers and to the Land Conservancy for helping us maintain our native plants! We look forward to more partnership opportunities! ??

Are you taking part? The No Mow May campaign started in 2019 by Plantlife, the wild plant conservation charity, to encourage the growth of wildflowers. Why take part? ~97% of flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930’s, a vital food source for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Allowing grass to grow can have huge benefits to the environment and to wildlife. CBRE Property Management are working with clients to implement and support this campaign across the portfolios we manage. However, this is something you can also take part in at home in your own garden. Will you join us in enhancing biodiversity? #nomowmay #biodiversity #plantlife

Across the country, beloved waterfowl species have returned to their northern ranges to breed and raise young—and now we're beginning to see ducklings just like this emerge as they learn the skills necessary to survive. Did you know? Many waterfowl species rely on two of the most threatened habitats in Canada during the breeding seasons: wetlands and grasslands. If their habitat continues to disappear, they will disappear too. Help support waterfowl populations and thriving biodiversity by making a donation in support of our habitat conservation and restoration work. ?? https://loom.ly/wwkUbUY #DucksUnlimitedCanada #HabitatConservation #HabitatRestoration #Wetlands #Grasslands #SpringMigration #Waterfowl #Wildlife #Biodiversity

This World Environment Day we've been out checking in on our hives ???? Did you know that habitat loss is generally thought to be the most important factor driving the decline in population of UK pollinators? Over 97% (an area the size of Wales) of all flower-rich grasslands have been lost in England since the 1930s, (and this is mirrored in other parts of the UK) reducing pollen and nectar sources and leading to a serious decline in the wildlife depending on wildflower-rich habitat. UK Charity Buglife's B-Lines Project is an imaginative and beautiful solution to the problem of the loss of flowers and pollinators. The B-Lines are a series of ‘insect pathways’ running through our countryside and towns, along which we are restoring and creating a series of wildflower-rich habitat stepping stones. They link existing wildlife areas together, creating a network, like a railway, that weaves across the UK landscape. This provides large areas of brand new habitat benefiting bees and butterflies– but also a host of other wildlife. If you're looking for a charity to support that directly helps re-build our pollinator habitat then Buglife might be the one for you! For more information about B-Lines and the work that Buglife do to help pollinators head over to their site www.buglife.org.uk

It's easy to forget that orchids aren't restricted to the tropics. When protected in a good environment, native orchids can thrive in the UK? ? ? They're actually a good indicator of soil quality and biodiversity health. Most species reproduce via tiny seeds. which need perfect conditions to germinate. Some species even rely on specific types of fungi in the soil for them to grow??? ? The efforts that Sussex Wildlife Trust and Cheshire Wildlife Trust are putting into meadow protection are paying off as both are seeing different varieties of orchid getting established. Encouraging signals that the meadows are healthy and starting to support rich bio-diversity ??? ? But they need a lot of help to maintain this and create more such spaces. We're currently trundling to create funds for both Sussex Wildlife Trust and Cheshire Wildlife Trust, supported by Sykes Holiday Cottages. If you join in, you and your company could become instant meadow champions too, simply by taking a walk with the trundl app ????♀? ??? ??♀?? #nature #environment #wildlife #charitywalk

Protecting Koalas in Australia through community based wildlife corridors! Bangalow Koalas is making a significant impact in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. Launched in 2016, this initiative started with neighbors protecting a small koala habitat stretch. Now, it's grown into a large-scale effort to create wildlife corridors, connecting fragmented koala habitats and ensuring their survival. Why it's Necessary: Koala populations are declining rapidly due to habitat loss from logging, wildfires, and development. These corridors allow safe movement, reduce disease risks, and increase genetic diversity. Achievements: Over 336,000 trees have been planted on 119 properties, with a target of 500,000 by 2025. The project has engaged 548 volunteers and created 15.4 hectares of new habitat in Byron Shire alone. Community-Based Model: The project relies heavily on local involvement. It started with neighbors and now includes local councils, Landcare groups, community groups, and private landowners. Activities like tree planting events and educational programs foster community engagement and support. Challenges: Securing ongoing funding, maintaining political support, and addressing climate change impacts are key hurdles. Future steps include expanding the corridor network and increasing community engagement. Support and Funding: The initiative is supported by donations, grants, and partnerships with organizations like IFAW and the Northern Rivers Community Foundation. #NatureRestoration ##EarthRegeneration #Conservation #Koalas #WildlifeCorridors #CommunityAction #Environment #Australia

What did you do to celebrate #WorldWildlifeDay yesterday? We were out in the field planting trees in the sunshine. ???? Changes in land use over the last hundred years have led to a staggering decline in nature in the UK. For example, Bristol lost 96% of its swift and starling population between 1994 and 2014. At Avon Needs Trees, we work collaboratively and align our efforts with Local Nature Recovery Strategies to connect existing wildlife habitats – doing our part to halt and reverse the decline in biodiversity. ???? Landscape scale projects like the Lower Chew Forest are fundamentally important in the region for connecting existing habitats which our local wildlife depend on. With just 10 days left on our fundraising campaign, there is a limited time left to be part of this momentous movement for wildlife. ? Visit our website www.avonneedstrees.org.uk to help make this woodland a reality today. #AvonNeedsTrees #LowerChewForest #ClimateAction #WildlifeRecovery #LocalNatureRecoveryStrategy #Nature #Wildlife #Biodiversity #CharityPartner #NatureRecovery #Bristol #Bath #Keynsham #NatureRecoveryNetwork #SoilHealth #BristolAvon #Wetland #Grassland #EthicalBusiness #Sustainabilitygoals #Biodiversity #CollaberationForChange #ClimateActionBristol #Trees
Improve ecological connectivity in the South West by supporting the Lower Chew Forest today!

?? Spotlight on Partnership for Species: Greater kudu Conservation Status: Least Concern ?? The greater kudu is one of the largest species of antelope. While they are not fast enough to evade predators, they’re magnificent leaping ability allows them to jump over objects to put space between them and their pursuer. Despite being a target from poachers for their meat and horns, their population is currently stable thanks to protected areas throughout Africa. Support our Partnership for Species and other programs by donating or learning more: https://lnkd.in/gfHX8FGJ. The goal of PFS is to achieve population sustainability in both captivity and in their native habitat. ?? Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch #rewild #conservation #savingspecies

?? Scotland is taking these amazing measures to help protect pollinators...?? A new report shows that people across Scotland are stepping up to protect our threatened bees, moths, and hoverflies. Here's a glimpse of the amazing work being done: ?? From creating wildflower meadows to carrying out bumblebee surveys, communities and organisations are taking action to boost pollinator populations. ??? Projects like Pollinators Along the Tweed and the Irvine to Girvan Nectar Network are creating pollinator-friendly habitats and green corridors to support insect movement and adaptation. ?? Highland Wildflower Meadow Mosaic is blossoming with 91 pocket meadows across northern Scotland, thanks to the efforts of volunteers, schools, and communities. ?? Significant conservation projects, like Species on the Edge, are securing a future for priority pollinator species across Scotland's coasts and islands. As spring approaches, you can also continue to support our pollinators by planting flowers and participating in monitoring schemes. Check out the latest projects our insect monitoring devices have been a part of at our website, and get inspired: https://agrisound.io/ ??? #SaveThePollinators #Scotland #SaveTheBees #Biodiversity

Rare bumblebee numbers are rising in Shropshire following a successful project to restore old hay meadows. The National Trust is leading Stepping Stones, an initiative which aims to reconnect isolated patches of wildlife habitat across the Long Mynd and Stiperstones. Jinlye Meadows, on the Long Mynd, is now thriving with wildflowers and insects and as a result, the population of bilberry bumblebees has increased. Volunteers are now being asked to join the project to continue the work across the county. Yellow rattle seed is a critical plant species for creating meadows, and the Stepping Stones team are inviting people to help collect it from Jinlye in All Stretton on 9 and 10 July between 14:00 - 16:00 BST. The plant slows down the growth of grasses by attaching itself to the root system which makes diverse wildflower species grow. The fields are now teeming with wildflowers and pollinating insects. #environment #sustainability #climatechange #nature #bees #biodiversity #education #lifecycles https://lnkd.in/ez7vqzZa
