Happy National Rivers Month! Ways to Celebrate: 🛶 Enjoy a local river - maybe try a new water sport like canoeing or paddle boarding. Practice meditation or mindful movement by a river. These activities will do wonders for your mental and physical health! 🗑️ Do a cleanup - be a river steward by participating in or leading a cleanup. Remember to bring trash bags, and use work gloves to protect your hands from sharp and dirty items. 👥 Organize a meetup - arrange an event to celebrate your local river with friends and community members. Try something simple like hosting your next book club meeting by the river. Expand your reach by contacting a local environmental non-profit or rowing club to collaborate on a river-focused event. 📑 Research local river heritage - this month is a great time to learn about the history of your local river. How was it used by indigenous people, and how did these uses evolve through today? #nationalriversmonth #riverheritage #rivers #riverconservation #stewardship

Guardians of Our Earth 🌍✨ Wealth is a gift, but it also comes with responsibility—the responsibility to leave a legacy, not just of prosperity, but of preservation. As Guardians of our Earth, those with the power and means to shape the world hold a unique ability to drive real change. Our planet is at a tipping point, and the time to act is now. That’s why we’ve launched The Exotic Numbers Project—a global initiative to unite visionaries, innovators, and philanthropists in a mission to protect the natural world. Through a series of exclusive, high-profile gala events, we’re raising significant funds for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to ensure future generations can thrive in harmony with nature. We’re calling on the elite, the innovators, and the visionaries to join us in this effort. Together, we can make a difference. Explore how you can become part of this transformative initiative: 🌟 www.exoticnumbers.com Let’s make sure that the wealth we create today safeguards the world for generations to come. Because the true measure of success lies in what we give back. #ExoticNumbersProject #GuardiansOfOurEarth #WWF #Philanthropy #ClimateAction Let me know if you'd like any further refinements!

You’d think finding an environmental charity would be a pretty easy task with all the search capabilities out there. And it is… if you’re looking for a huge international organisation that’s likely based in New York 🏙️ I’m on the hunt for grassroots environmental charities in developing countries. However, when I used that exact search term in Google, the results were neither “grassroots” nor based “in developing countries". In fact, one of the top results I checked out listed 35 environmental charities, but 29 (83%) of them were headquartered in the United States. The remaining six were based in Europe. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not what I’m after 🕵️ An important aspect of my work is driving positive sustainable impacts. While I’m a team of one, charitable contributions are the most effective way of doing this. I like to think of it as an environmental tax. So, I’m going old school and asking for word-of-mouth recommendations for small environmental charities doing amazing work in developing countries - projects and organisations that don’t show up in Google. If you have any suggestions or can put me in contact with people that can point me in the right direction, I’d be a very happy chappy 🙏 #Charity #Sustainability #EnvironmentalCauses

It's hard to describe the past autumn in a few sentences (and it's not over yet 😉 ). 💡 Key words: charity, busy, amazing, varied, exhausting, travelling the country, working in the sun and rain, meeting and working with fantastic people. This autumn we held charity team-building events for 8 companies and awarness-raising programme for 3; all in 32 days. 🤗 We helped 3 national parks, 4 children's homes, 2 environmental NGOs, 1 home for the elderly, 1 community centre, 1 community garden together with volunteers from companies. ⛏ We built bird boxes, raised flower beds, composting bins, stork nests, painted rooms, eliminated invasive species, renovated information boards, etc. I have had the opportunity to field visit, plan the events, lead programmes, give presentations, demonstrate awareness raising games and of course improvise when nothing went as planned. 🌺 Meanwhile, we have 2 menstruation programmes running which I manage, so I often found myself checking in to international meetings from the conservation area in my wellies. 😆 I'm very proud of our work and the team we've done it with. 💚 Zöldövezet Társulás Egyesület It is fantastic to benefit from these experiences. #environmentprotection #charity #charityteambuilding

We'd like to extend a huge shout-out to one of our amazing supporters, Nicola (Nics) Johnson from NXJ Coaching & Consulting. Nics and I met when we were both on the same women's mountain bike racing team in Edinburgh. And nearly 15 years later, our paths are crossing again with a new shared passion: the important and deeply healing power of nature. Nics recently took the initiative to propose Darroch Nurseries to the 1% for the Planet network, where we have now been made an Environmental Partner. This means that we can accept donations from 1% for the Planet members woooo! 🌍 Darroch is what it is now because of the people involved in its journey, in all ways, and we love that our community cares so deeply about this little venture and working together to leave the planet a better place. Nics, thank you! 🙏🌱 For those new to 1% for the Planet, it was started in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies. Their members commit to donating at least 1% of annual sales directly to environmental organisations. This is another building block of support in a time when there is no designated funding for new or establishing tree nurseries like ours. #darrochnurseries #treenursery #trees #nativetrees #getoutside #scottish #scotland #socialenterprise #nature #regenerative #treestreestrees #patagonia #1%fortheplanet

Today, you can double your impact with a tax-time gift and give nature a legal voice! Nature needs us now more than ever.  In Australia, more than 2000 species and ecosystems are threatened with extinction.  We need to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions to avoid dangerous climate change, yet 29 new coal mines are on the table or approved already in Australia.   The law is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight the climate and extinction crises.  But we need you on our side, and today you can double your impact. Turn your $50 gift into $100, $150 into $300, or $500 into $1000.  Gifts up to $1000 will be matched by one of EDO’s dedicated supporters, the Sisyphus Foundation. The Foundation are offering to match donations up to a total of $40,000 in memory of its founder, Jeremy Davis, who recognised EDO’s vital role in safeguarding Australia’s natural heritage for generations to come. We’d like to thank the Sisyphus Foundation and Jeremy’s family for their ongoing commitment to a world where nature thrives. Make your tax-time gift count and give wildlife and nature a legal voice today. With the end of financial year just three days away, now is a great time to give. By donating today, you are helping to use the law to defend our most precious places and wildlife from destruction.
