| Hello Jonathan |
| When the sun shines the world can
generally seem a happier and healthier place. But don't be fooled - our natural
world is still very much under threat and we continue apace with our work
protecting it and challenging Government to tackle the loss of nature. This
month, we're also excited about our new event - Big Wild Sleepout. Read on to
find out more about this, plus much, much more. |

| Sleep outside and fundraise for nature |
|
|
|
Take part in Big Wild Sleepout - supported by
Rightmove and Blacks - between 9-11 August. Put up a tent, build a makeshift
shelter or, if you're brave enough, simply sleep out under the stars. You can do
it in your own garden, or join us at an organised RSPB sleepout event where
we're hosting a range of sleepouts and other night-themed events.
You'll
not only discover the night-time nature near you, but by getting friends and
family to make a donation towards your adventure, you'll also be raising money
for conservation projects that protect birds, wildlife and the places they live.

| July's tip for your garden |
|
|
|
To make your lawn a real home for nature, give
your mower a rest and leave your grass to grow a bit taller. The flowering
plants that bugs love will benefit and longer grass won't dry out so quickly.
Take part in Giving Nature a Home for other simple tips like this to
give nature a home on your doorstep. |

This month we're focusing on Big Wild Sleepout events. From sleeping
out at Ynys-Hir nature reserve, home to this year's BBC Springwatch, or enjoying
a night of moth-trapping and bat detecting at the Ulster Folk and Transport
Museum, to camping out at the magical reserve of Coombes Valley, or joining a
guided walk along the shores of Loch Lomond, these are just some of the events
running across the UK. |
