For a thriving countryside that benefits everyone

Our countryside is home to many beautiful animals, including the Red Deer. 🦌

Did you know Red deer are a native species having migrated to Britain from Europe 11,000 years ago.

Did you know 2300 species are associated with oak trees? This consists of 38 bird species, 31 mammals, 108 fungi, and so much more.

Of these species, 320 are only found on oak. 🌲🦉

Just another reason to love our trees!💚 #NationalTreeWeek

Oak trees are one of the UK’s best known species. 🌲 Their value to our wildlife is huge. They have been found to support over 280 species of insects, which in turn provide food for many birds and other predators. 🦉💚 #NationalTreeWeek

Most importantly, trees are also homes to our wildlife. 🦡🌲

Older, larger trees can be connected to hundreds of younger trees around them. They can send nutrients, water and even any carbon they don’t use through the fungi network to smaller seedlings – which can boost seedling survival by as much as 4 times. 🌲🌍 #NationalTreeWeek

Did you know trees can talk to each other? They even share nutrients. 🌲

They manage to do this through an incredible underground system created by soil fungi. #NationalTreeWeek
