Saving the small things that run the planetEngland has a huge diversity of landscapes. From the dramatic uplands in the North and the Peak District in the Midlands, to the wetlands of the Fens and Broads in the East, down to the Thames Estuary and chalk downland in the South East and the coastal cliffs of the South West. England also has vast swathes of agricultural landscape, urban centres and ex-industrial brownfield sites.
Our projects stretch the length and breadth of the country and help both to restore more habitat for invertebrates, and raise awareness of them – particularly pollinating insects on grasslands and heathlands. We also work to support the recovery of some of the UK’s most threatened invertebrates including the White-clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) in the Midlands, the Blue Ground Beetle (Carabus intricatus), Lundy Cabbage Flea Beetle (Psylliodes luridipennis), Horrid Ground-weaver Spider (Nothophantes horridus) and Narrow-headed Ant (Formica exsecta) in the South West, and Wormwood Moonshiner beetle (Amara fusca) and Wart-biter Bush-cricket (Decticus verrucivorus) in the South and East.
