Let's create more space for butterflies 🦋 One of the biggest threats to butterflies and moths in the UK is habitat loss. They need places where they can feed, breed and shelter. That’s why we're asking for your help in creating more #WildSpaces where butterflies and moths can live, and we're not just talking gardens! You could make more room for nature around your workplace or team up to transform a shared area in your community. No matter the size of the space, you can help make a difference. 🌱💚 Find out how 👉 https://wild-spaces.co.uk/ 📷: Small Tortoiseshell - Ursula Juta

I have been coming here for years and had no idea about its history!   4. What’s your favourite thing about volunteering at Evergreen Brick Works?   I love interacting with the public, especially kids, and spending time with my fellow tour guides who are so much fun to hang out with.   5. What’s the most important thing that you’ve learned from volunteering?    Interacting with people in nature makes everyone happy. 6. Why do you think access to green public space is important?

Maintenance trust funds for memorial parks: (road works, garden landscaping, and infrastructure maintenance) Why is it important for customers? Private memorial parks are a blessing compared to the usual public cemeteries, especially when it comes to proper planning, year-round maintenance, security, extra facilities as well as after-sales services. While all these perks are great, nothing comes for free. Funding is extremely important for any memorial park for it to be continuously managed and maintained for years to come. One of the main things that bereavement care giant, Nirvana Asia Group often emphasizes on is its maintenance trust fund of up to RM100 million; but what is it really? In effect, the maintenance trust fund established by Nirvana Asia is a perpetual trust fund. Designed to operate indefinitely, an individual or entity places assets or funds in a perpetual trust with certain conditions and restrictions for how the funds are distributed or used.

🌳 Did you know #OurCounty has increased its annual budget for reforestation efforts by over 70% compared to 2021? 🤔 This has helped us maximize opportunities and double the number of trees planted at parks and green areas, as well as in roadways, at county buildings and in environmentally endangered areas. 🌿 The county is close to finalizing a contract with the USDA to implement a $10 million grant to plant trees primarily on streets in targeted areas over the next five years. 💵 ➡️ 🌲 Programs like Adopt-a-Tree and Million Trees Miami are resulting in an additional 10,000 trees provided to residents to plant each year through free giveaways. 🆓 Last month, Miami-Dade County Office of Resilience was invited to a tree planting event with Coca-Cola Beverages Florida where 80 trees were planted at North Pointe Community Center. 🌱   Our Extreme Heat Action Plan aims to reduce excessive heat by expanding the tree canopy and adding more vegetation across urban areas. ☀️ 🔗 Learn more about our Extreme Heat Action Plan: https://lnkd.in/e9G3f_qc 🔗 Learn more about how you can Adopt-a-Tree for FREE: https://lnkd.in/g_xPUPNk #miamidade #miamidadecounty #miami #officeofresilience #resilience #southflorida #resilient305 #heatseason #extremeheat #trees #volunteers #plantatree #arborday
