Absolutely thrilled to announce that I’m the UN’s International Youth Council UK project lead and an ambassador working with the organisation on climate action! 🐝

So grateful for this global opportunity to develop Gracefully Wild and share my passion with an inspiring organisation 🌿🤍

Change starts with the smallest individual action but can make the biggest difference, and I couldn’t be prouder of how far the Pollinator Pathways Project has come in protecting biodiversity 🥹

Exciting things to come 🤭
Thank you @iycconnect by @thegracefullywildfoundation

An exciting day of speaking with our Members of @seneddwales about the future of Nature in Wales, from the biodiversity crisis to microplastic pollution, to the conditions of our rivers and the threat to our Red Squirrels 🐿️

Thank you to @climate.cymru for organising this important lobby 🙌🏻

September is a busy time for wildlife preparing for autumn and winter!

Food sources are becoming increasingly important, young animals are becoming independent, and many species are beginning their migration or hibernation preparations 🍂🍁

Here are a few simple ways you can make a positive difference this month 🌿 by @thegracefullywildfoundation

This week’s #SpeciesSpotlight is shining a light on one of our most iconic native mammals… the #RedSquirrel! 🐿️❤️

Once a common site across the UK, our #Reds have faced a huge decline over the last 150 years.

Now, every sighting is an important reminder of how precious our native wildlife is and why protecting their habitats is vital for their survival. by @thegracefullywildfoundation

This week’s #SpeciesSpotlight is looking at one of our most fascinating native mammals…the badger! 🖤🤍

Often persecuted and misunderstood, badgers are incredible creatures that play an important role in our natural world. I feel so lucky to have had a family of badgers visiting my garden for over six years! 🦡🦡🦡

Being able to observe these beautiful animals up close has been such a special experience and a reminder of why they deserve our understanding, respect and protection. 🌿🐾 by @thegracefullywildfoundation

An alien invasion or freaky fungi? 🍄

Autumn brings some seriously strange things to life. And this year, @the_rhs is predicting a bumper season for mushrooms and toadstools across the UK.

So, keep your eyes peeled when you’re out and about in nature…you never know what weird and wonderful #Fungi might be growing around you! 🍂 by @thegracefullywildfoundation

This October, we’re exploring the weird, wonderful and sometimes downright spooky side of nature. 🍂👀

From strange sounds and mysterious behaviours to fungi that look like they belong in a Halloween story.

We’re starting the #SpookyNatureSeries with one of the most unsettling sounds you can hear after dark…

The eerie scream of a fox. 🦊

What should we explore next? Let me know in the comments! 👇 by @thegracefullywildfoundation
