Synergy volunteers helped support seagrass conservation with OzFish Unlimited in Cockburn Sound by collecting and sorting seagrass fruit. Synergy once again partnered with OzFish Unlimited, a non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting and restoring Australia’s marine habitats. The initiative was part of Synergy’s commitment to giving back to the community and promoting environmental sustainability. #conservation #seagrassrestoration #restoration #volunteering

And what a fantastic day it was 💙 Natural Flood Management (NFM) utilises landscape and natural processes to reduce flood risk. It involves measures like planting trees, restoring rivers to their natural courses, and creating wetlands to absorb and store excess water, thereby mitigating flood impacts while enhancing biodiversity - a holistic approach to climate resilience! Flood risk reduction like this project at Gissing is critically important. It protects communities from the devastating impacts of flooding, enhances public safety, and supports sustainable development.

Fed up with an overgrown, unusable space on their school site, Blackrod Primary School are using the Green Spaces Fund to turn it into a community garden for children, families, and community members 🍎 They'll be growing food, teaching about wildlife and healthy food production, and introducing a composting system to enhance soil health and reduce waste. The school hope that their Green Spaces Fund project will foster a closer-knit, healthier community whilst providing accessible green space in Bolton. Lancashire Wildlife Trust

Volunteers Week 2024 🫶🏼 This week is National Volunteers Week -time for us to celebrate the amazing contribution people make to the community. 🙌🏽 Volunteering was a gift to me after I moved abroad. It is something embedded in Western societies: it is made a lot more accessible and possible than it was in Hungary (maybe just life struggle was too draining, or I was too young and didn't care to do it? not sure). Either way, volunteering became a big part of my life since 2015. A few great experiences I had, just in case you need ideas: - Sundays in Durrell Zoo: I truly miss being surrounded by animals🐻, cleaning up their areas💩, food prep, or manning butterfly house 🦋 - Bat monitoring: I fell in love with bats big time while in Jersey, so recording their sounds and monitoring bats was a great experience 🦇 -Water testing in Citizen Science Program in Jersey: shocking but hugely important results... Let's not even mention water quality and sewage spillage going on in UK (disgrace)💩 - Sussex Wildlife Trust: I enjoy the HIT squad days clearing hedges, wood chopping, planting native wildflowers or litter picking🚯 - Brighton Permaculture Trust: orchard planting in hail and gale force wind wasn't on my list but I did enjoy it nevertheless! 🍎🌳 - Parkrun: the thing is I am NOT a runner, just tackling a beginners-course, but I either join as marshal (cheering) or tail-walker.🏃🏽♂️➡️ - I try and join lot of beach cleans organised by Leave No Trace, Marine Conservation Society, the Sussex Dolphin Project (their boat trips are fab by the way, if you haven't been yet!) 🐬 I know a lot of people who help other charities, support wonderful initiatives and are doing great things. Huge thank you to all of those who dedicate time and effort to volunteer!👏🏼 Share your volunteering experiences- maybe someone else is just looking for inspiration. Volunteering actually helped me hugely when I struggled with my mental health: so can highly recommend it as a remedy. It gives purpose, perspective, and it is a joyful focus time. 🫂 #volunteersweek #volunteering #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

Rural and Indigenous communities many times have employees that wear many hats. They do not have the ability to hire extra personnel to assist with grant writing, do the additional work needed to build resilience against future disasters, or have the additional matching funds that some grants require. Philanthropy organizations can help fill this crucial gap needed for these communities be prepared for disasters.

It's always refreshing to get out and do great deeds personally and professionally! 🌍 Reflecting on a fulfilling weekend hosting Relate Central Park Cleanup Community Day! 🌱 We want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for our annual Relate Central Park Cleanup Community Day. Your dedication to making our community cleaner and more vibrant truly embodies our values of leadership and stewardship. At Relate Central, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to not only excel in their industry but also to contribute positively to the communities they serve. Volunteering isn't just about giving back; it's about demonstrating leadership through action. By coming together as a team, we're not only cleaning up our environment but also fostering a culture of teamwork and social responsibility. Our efforts this weekend weren't just about picking up trash; they were about leading by example and showing our commitment to sustainability and community involvement. It was inspiring to see everyone's enthusiasm and dedication throughout the day. Together, we made a tangible difference that will resonate beyond our event. Thank you once again to all our volunteers, organizers, and supporters for making Relate Central Park Cleanup Community Day a resounding success.

We've seen plenty of discussion about this article. Though National Parks Authorities are not charities themselves, all boards – regardless of legal setup – benefit from a diversity of skills, knowledge and experience, and inclusive practice. In addition, National Park Authorities work closely with many charities. A lack of #diversity on a #NationalPark board may have knock-on impacts on charities in partnership. Covering 10% of our country, we're hopeful that NPAs will make moves towards stronger #governance. https://lnkd.in/eMNEjnYv

It's great to look back on the accomplishments of the 23/24 financial year which saw 3 #SANG transfer to The Land Trust in 3 different counties, bringing the Trust’s SANG portfolio to 14, spanning nearly 400 hectares. The pipeline for new SANG is growing every month and subject to the usual caveats, we expect to acquire over 100 hectares by March 2026. With the introduction of mandatory #BNG and the nascent offsite BU market, most new SANG on LT's pipeline have stacked BNG with a view of selling the BU alongside the SANG capacity. It's made for some interesting debate and adds a new layer of complexity to the legal negotiation, but overall it's positive to quantify and deliver multiple benefits from green infrastructure in perpetuity. There's a lot of discussion around the nascent BU market and supply and demand at the moment. One anecdotal observation from me is that it is reasonable to assume that the BU market will be more buoyant in LPAs where SANG are required. This could impact pricing of BU in these areas due to greater supply and 'SANG BU' potentially able to be sold for less than 'Habitat Bank BU'.
