Bat Bridge

by smiley0day near West Sacramento, California, United StatesJuly 18, 2025Gave 4 Hours for Earth

I went to the Yolo Causeway to go to a talk on the bats there (with ambassadors!) and then saw the wild bats emerge from the bridge. Very interesting talk, and it was so cool seeing about 250,000 Mexican freetailed bats stream out to hunt.

Blackberries and animals

by Birgit near South Holland, NetherlandsJuly 18, 2025Gave 2 Hours for Earth

It's that time of year again when the blackberries are ripe for the picking.... a piece of advice though make sure your completely covered or you will end up full of schratches😅🥲.

I have also noticed that taking pictures of insects makes me appreciate them more and makes me less scared of them.

Bits and bobs

by Owen near York, England, United KingdomJuly 4, 2025Gave 7 Hours for Earth

Wanted to share a few activities from the past few days. I spent a day volunteering on a nature reserve to 'bash' Balsam (an invasive plant that takes over the woodland). I found my first Tawny Owl, who was sneakily tucked away. Some moth propaganda. And finally, a linocut that I carved and printed.

Backyard Bughunt

by FreakyPandah near Lower Saxony, GermanyJuly 4, 2025

Was afraid of bugs and spiders for most of my life and slowly started to come around the time you got Hank at Alveus.

The last couple of weeks, the bug propaganda on stream just completely turned me around, and I'm the certified bug girl of the family now.

National Park Backpacking Trips

by plumpygoaterzJuly 4, 2025Gave 10 Hours for Earth

Every year my friends and I go backpacking in the National Parks in America (we've been to 33.) Here are some of my favorite photos I've taken, including from my most recent trip to the Badlands. We always practice leave no trace and will pick up any trash we find in the backcountry and take it out.
