Actions for February 2026

1st February

The destruction of irreplaceable peatlands for gardening continues as the legislation is repeatedly delayed. Although peat free compost is readily available the proposed legislation won’t ban some peat containing products until 2027 and for professional growers peat use will be permitted until 2030. At least one national supermarket chain is offering mushrooms grown without peat. Ask if yours will consider doing this too.

8th February

Gardening for wildlife is something easy we can all do. Learn why it’s important and how to do it by attending North Lancashire Wildlife Group meeting on 13th February at 7.30 pm at Church of Ascension Church Michaelson Avenue Torrisholme.

15th February

As Christians we are traditionally asked to give something up for Lent. Consider carbon fasting by reducing energy, waste and consumption and increasing engagement with nature. Even better adopt sustainable habits beyond Easter.

22nd February

As the climate warms up many birds are increasingly starting to nest early. Make sure your nest boxes are clean and ready for new families and check carefully before carrying out hedge cutting or tree felling work.
