NHBS Conservation Volunteers
At NHBS, all members of staff have the opportunity to partake in conservation volunteering days as part of the company’s philanthropic initiative to carry out nature conservation locally. As part of this initiative, Bryony James, NHBS Wildlife Equipment Specialist recently volunteered at a Farm and Wildlife Fayre in Totnes.
The aim of this event was to get a wider audience of people involved in nature conservation by allowing them to get up-close and personal with local wildlife. More than 200 children and young adults attended, in addition to young families from the local area. Find out more about the Fayre and about Bryony's volunteering experience in her recent blogpost

Artificial lighting contributes to insect declines
Scientists from the Leibniz Institute of Ecology and Inland Fisheries have discovered a link between the decline of flying insects and light pollution. These results suggest that, along with climate change, pesticides and land-use change, artificial lighting should also be considered in studies of insect loss.
