Protect Our Wildlife: Keep Dogs on Leads 🐾 This spring, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is urging all dog walkers to practice nature-friendly dog walking. By keeping dogs on leads, under close control, and out of water, we can protect our precious wildlife and their habitats. Why is this important? - Ground-nesting birds like curlew, skylark, and robins are at risk. Dogs off leads can frighten adult birds away from nests, leaving chicks vulnerable. - Conservation grazing animals such as cattle and sheep can be stressed or injured by off-lead dogs, impacting our conservation efforts. - Water pollution from flea treatments on dogs can harm aquatic insects, crucial for our ecosystems. How can you help? - Keep dogs on leads, especially on Open Access land from 1st March to 31st July. - Avoid letting dogs into water bodies for three days after flea treatment. - Always pick up after your dog. Let's work together to ensure our nature reserves remain safe havens for wildlife. https://lnkd.in/ePxjsJ2q #DogsOnLeads #ProtectWildlife #ResponsibleDogWalking

About us
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is a local charity working to protect and conserve Yorkshire's wild places and wildlife for all to enjoy. We care for over 100 nature reserves in Yorkshire including iconic sites such as Spurn National Nature Reserve near Hull, Staveley Nature Reserve in North Yorkshire, Potteric Carr near Doncaster and Flamborough Cliffs in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Creating a Living Landscape... Our nature reserves provide a much needed sanctuary for Yorkshire's wildlife. But we go further than that, working Yorkshire-wide to make sure our wild spaces are connected, giving wildlife freedom to move and flourish in an ever-changing world. ...and Living Seas Yorkshire's seas are home to internationally important wildlife: Coastal areas teem with breeding seabirds and intertidal zones provide habitats for a myriad of creatures. Beneath the waves hidden treasures rival any tropical reef, whilst dolphins, porpoises and minke whales move offshore. Nature Matters At the heart of our work is you: Yorkshire should be rich in wildlife for the benefit of everyone, with more wildlife, more wild places and more people having a strong connection to nature. Yorkshire Wildlife Trust works to inspire people of all ages, helping people to rediscover and reconnect with nature around them. Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. As a charity every penny raised is spent on delivering our charitable work. We draw on a variety of funding sources to cover the costs of conservation projects, education and awareness work, and to manage our network of nature reserves. There are a number of ways you can offer your support: As an individual - from joining as a member, donating to a specific appeal, volunteering and campaigning, to leaving a gift in your Will and donating in memory of a loved one. As a company - from corporate membership and corporate workdays, to sponsorship and donations.

Meet Seal 2895, a resilient grey seal who made an astonishing 320-mile journey from Germany to East Yorkshire. First rescued as a malnourished pup in 2021, she was rehabilitated in Germany and released back into the wild - only to be spotted for the first time since, right here in the UK. Her journey highlights the power of international conservation efforts and the incredible distances seals travel. If you’re lucky enough to spot one, always admire from a distance! 💙 Read more in our blog by Marine Research Assistant, Beth: https://lnkd.in/e-mFNifp Seehundstation Friedrichskoog E.V. #InternationalSealDay

We love working with youth group across Yorkshire like Child Dynamix. 💚
It’s wonderful to read about the positive impact our Influencers Schemes have had on children and young people who attended environmental programmes run by Child Dynamix. Child Dynamix supports some of the most underserved communities in East Hull, and with the help of funding from the Trust’s Influencers Schemes and the #iwill Fund, it supported young people to lead the way on environmental social action projects and to become “influencers” in their local “green” and “blue” spaces. Over 160 young people were engaged in projects which ran from anywhere between six weeks to 16-months. The groups created sensory wildlife gardens, linked activities to wellbeing and nature connection, explored soil science and skills for growing, made and installed nature trails in public parks, contributed to citizen science efforts, conducted beach cleans and conservation action. Suzy Rowe, Lead Youth Worker at Child Dynamix said, “The young people on these projects not only grew in knowledge and skills, such as communication, teamwork and practical work, but in confidence too.” To read more about Child Dynamix and our Influencers Schemes, visit: https://lnkd.in/eFmdXANr #TheErnestCookTrust #GreenInfluncers #BlueInfluncers #OutdoorLearning #YouthVoice Yorkshire Wildlife Trust , University of Hull, PATT Foundation, The Deep, Friends of Alderman Kneeshaw Park

The Hull Wild LIVE event will explore some of the many benefits – for people and nature – of natural flood management, with the aim of informing the conversation about how we can scale up this response to the increasing flood risk. The discussion will be chaired by The Wildlife Trusts’ Chief Executive, Craig Bennett. We also look forward to hearing from panellists: -Rachel Bice - Chief Executive of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - Eleanor Heron - Natural Flood Management Manager at the Environment Agency - Craig Monks - National Flood Claims Co-ordinator at RSA Insurance - Mike Morris - Technical Director at Stantec. And for those interesting in the urban 'cousin' of Natural Flood Management, our EEI colleague, Prof Stuart McLelland will host a 4pm tour of the #SuDSlab campus-wide ‘living lab’ for Sustainable Drainage Systems. The tour will include lots of examples of how the University manages surface water on campus, while creating a beautiful environment to live and work.

We've recently started #PeatlandRestoration on Wild Ingleborough. In this gully, we've installed a series of stone dams to slow the flow of water and trap any peat sediment runoff. We have to use stone in steeper gullies where the peat has eroded down to the underlying geology because it's not possible to key-in a timber trap against the gully bottom. The base of the gully can be bare mineral or, like this one, vegetated. As it silts up, both the gully and surrounding peat will become wetter, allowing characteristic bog vegetation to re-establish. It's great to be working with our sister programme on one of #Yorkshire's most charismatic fells as part of the #GreatNorthBog.
