In collaboration with other environment enthusiasts, the Nature Commission leads the Nature Matters series in the Guernsey Press. This series provides monthly content on biodiversity, including education, activities, information sharing, and opportunities to connect with nature in Guernsey.

The purpose is to communicate with the public the importance of our natural environment and the amazing things being achieved by the third sector and others, to raise awareness of the issues of biodiversity declines, and to improve general knowledge about our local natural environment.

Content for future articles that are in the pipeline include:

• the connection being good mental health and nature
• showcasing the beauty of our marine environment
• nature and the economy
• learning about fungi and lichens
• Bats of the Bailiwick

Below are some examples of Nature Matters articles that have been released in 2025.
