#Copper products with the active ingredients copper hydroxide or copper oxychloride are hella toxic to #bees.

#Fungicides - not usually considered acutely toxic to bees, have chronic risks if repeatedly present in your gardens. Direct/indirect usage effects kills adult bees.

Please read the full ingredients label before buying anything & avoid if the above are on the list.

I don't use anything that's not natural. I avoid toxic pesticides/herbicides/fungicides.

A sad moment at the end of today's @nicw meeting when we said goodbye to Elspeth Jones as our first Nature Guardian. What a lovely person and fabulous member of our team!

Our experiment doesn't end here. We will be considering how to take on the learnings from the pilot, and the best way to embed a Nature Guardian role on an ongoing basis 🦔

Layered my analogue photograph, after scanning it, of a beautiful statue at #GorgeWaterwayPark - with a pastel background.

One of my fave local #PublicArt #statues is in Gorge Park. It's this #Indigenous #CoastSalish #woman resting on waters, with #ducks & #salmon.

Expand & flip phone sideways for better view 👌
