Walk, talk and observe your surroundings to help shape future site specific artwork at Stoke Common Park on either 11 or 21 November.

Join and Professor Alex Kacelnik in conversation to discuss the possibilities - the Nest is planned to celebrate the abundant bird life at Stoke Common Park through biomimicry; emulating nests made by birds as a place of sanctuary and rest.

Buzzing into action at Grange Park 🐝🐞

A new bug house has been installed at Grange Park Mobile Home site in Hedge End, giving wildlife a helping hand, and providing an opportunity for residents of all ages to discover more about the insects living on their doorstep and the importance of protecting local habitats.

The structure was built by Eastleigh Mens Shed, a non-profit organisation that provides a space for men to share skills, build friendships and reduce social isolation, while making a positive difference in the community.

Remember, remember the 5th of November - think animals 🐕

With bonfire night around the corner, a little reminder to think about the wildlife, pets and animals near you when making your plans.

For many people, fireworks mark a time of celebration and festivities. However for animals, fireworks can be stressful, scary, and dangerous.

🎆A reminder that it’s illegal to set off fireworks in a public place. For a safer experience, consider going to an organised display
🎆Consider using silent fireworks - no noise but spectacular visuals!
🎆Communicate with neighbours in advance if you are planning fireworks
🎆Keep pets and animals calm and safe indoors if possible, or provide shelter outside. RSPCA (England & Wales) recommends popping on Classic FM’s Pet Classics show to help relax pets during firework season

What other tips would you give to keep pets safe during firework season?⬇️

Your pumpkins can serve a purpose beyond Halloween 🎃

Here's some ideas:
🍲Soup season is here! Chop up and roast your pumpkin for a hearty meal
🔥Roast the seeds for a nutritious snack or crunchy soup topping
🌱Save the seeds to grow your own pumpkin for next year
♻️Pop the insides and flesh in your food waste bin - we turn food waste into renewable energy and a useful soil conditioner
🦔Please don't leave pumpkins on the ground for wildlife to eat, they are really dangerous to hedgehogs if eaten. Consider putting your pumpkin up high on a bird table or in a tree for birds and squirrels

We all want to stay warm this winter, but cosiness shouldn’t cost our health.
Breathing in air pollution from wood burning increases your risk of heart and lung disease, asthma, diabetes and dementia. We could save 1500 lives each year if we stopped unnecessary wood burning in the UK.

This (17 November 2026), join us in sharing the facts about wood burning so we can protect everyone’s health.
