Nottingham has plenty of green spaces but the nature growing on our streets can often get overlooked. Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust is encouraging people to stop using chemicals on plants and appreciate them instead.
As part of the 30 Day Wild challenge, the Wildlife Trust is asking people to spend the month of June doing something wild each day in order to acknowledge the nature around us. One suggestion they have is to take more notice of the plants on our streets.
John Rattray, Head of Nature Recovery South at Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, spotted a Peacock butterfly on his way to work in the city, perfectly enjoying the plants living in the pavements and basking in the sunshine. John also decided to take more notice of it and took a photo to record it and appreciate the wildlife on his commute to work as part of 30 Days Wild.
