Gîte à chauves-souris Beaumaris Maxi Le gîte pour chauves-souris Beaumaris est entièrement fabriqué en matériau WoodStone®. L’utilisation de ce béton de bois pour sa fabrication le rend très durable. Deux tailles sont disponibles.

Le collectif d’habitants « Autour de Marguerite » organise une collecte de fonds afin d’installer des gîtes pour les chauves-souris dans l’espace public ainsi que chez des particuliers.

The residents' collective “Autour de Marguerite” is organising a fundraiser to install bat shelters in public spaces and at private homes. Despite their sometimes negative reputation, bats are harmless and play a vital ecological role by consuming large numbers of insects such as mosquitoes.

We would be even more excited if the Conference would also focus on *food* and the demand side, not just the agri-food sector - reflecting a true #FoodSystems approach ... 🤗

...and if it were possible to follow #EUAgriVision on #Bluesky and not just X (but for this, you can count on us! 😉)

European Movement We're the UK's largest pro-European movement. Our goal is to reverse the calamity of Brexit and restore relations with our European neighbours.

Trump is an enemy of us all.

Europe needs to unite - and the UK needs to rejoin the EU.

If you want to see that happen… join European Movement UK right now. We’re driving this. ✊
