Backyard shenanigans

by Yarou(Any pronouns) near Greater Toronto, CanadaSeptember 11, 2026

My native garden plans are progressing well and have been noticing more of the wildlife in my backyard. I have a squirrel feeder alongside a suet block and was blessed by the presence of the cutest downy woodpecker. Also got to visit the aquarium for my birthday yipee

Summer flowers in Scotland (and a few other things)

by Haven(she/her) near City of Edinburgh, Scotland, United KingdomSeptember 11, 2026

I have a hobby taking photos of flowers, and though I'd share some now that summer is winding down, along with a few other odds and ends (mostly birds, but I'm much better at taking photos of flowers than birds. Flowers can't fly away!)

Thrifting and walking

by Amy(londonbrolly) near Massachusetts, United StatesSeptember 11, 2026Gave 3 Hours for Earth

Thrifted some fun brooches and a bracelet (animal and bug themed) from some antique and thrift stores and took Camden for a walk on the beach of course. Also spotted a heron.

Started an ant-colony

by Rien near Veenendaal, Utrecht, NetherlandsSeptember 11, 2026Gave 2 Hours for Earth

After contemplating keeping ants for a few years, seeing my roommate having them gave me the final push.

I did lots of research, also to prevent me from ordering an invasive species. Ended up with a young Messor barbarus queen + ~18 workers. I have named them 'Sweet Raid'.

Tenerife Holiday - August 2026

by AmyM_(she/her) near Granadilla de Abona, Canary Islands, SpainSeptember 11, 2026Gave 4 Hours for Earth

Two weeks ago I spend a few days in Tenerife on holiday. I made sure prior to going that the whale excusion we went on was in fact no-chase, and supported local wildlife and conservation efforts. The boat slowly made its way to the area, and powered off the engine while in the area for us to observe

Been taking about 2 hours a day to learn all about vultures! Thanks to you guys at Alveus, I have learned that I love birds, especially waterfowl, parrots and vultures! I'm having so so much fun learning about their natural habitats and behaviors!

Studying Wildlife Conservation

Hello! I have been studying Wildlife Conservation online over the past week or so! It's very recent, but it's something I want to learn more and more about and it's something I truly care about too. I have been able to learn, so far, all about biodiversity!
