Not many people need a cherry-picker to decorate their Christmas tree, but the team at Cragside do.
Their tree stands an incredible 44.7 metres tall - more than twice the height of the Angel of the North. And... it's a record breaker.

Celebrating worms on #WorldSoilDay!
Did you know, there are thousands of known earthworm species globally?
They are crucial to enhancing soil health and fertility by recycling nutrients, aerating and improving drainage.
How many worms can you spot out and about this weekend?

There are many positives that take root when you plant trees. Woodlands help our health and wellbeing, enhance biodiversity and improve water and air quality. We can also see economic benefits from the green jobs it supports and creates.

These are the words of one of our three founders, Octavia Hill.
Born on this day in 1838, she worked tirelessly to improve urban housing and to protect green spaces. The impact of her life and work is still being felt today.

The stunning goldcrest is so tiny it weighs just five grams – about the same as a 20p coin!
It may be the UK’s smallest bird, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in high energy. Goldcrests flit through tree branches, rarely staying still for more than a second.
