Nick MacKinnon's latest blog is out now. Nick and friends have now walked to 32 of the 65 proposed turbine sites. It's an important analysis of the question we all want an answer to: access to the wind farm site... or not. Thanks Mark Avery markavery.info/2025/03/27/gue… #peat #moor
We'd love Richard Bannister of Boundary Mill Stores, owner of #Walshaw #moor, to have a think about this imagined chat between him and the planners... Boundary Outlet #peat #blanketbog #Brontës markavery.info/2025/03/27/gue…
The Wildlife Trusts are among those who Keir Starmer&Rachel Reeves refer to as “blockers”- but they have managed to deliver 1000s of homes alongside nature. I visited a newt paradise on a housing estate in south east London (and yes, bats live there too!) theguardian.com/environment/20…
Nick MacKinnon's blog, courtesy of Mark Avery is out now: markavery.info/2025/04/11/gue… - questions from the Saudi backer's KC to the one man band developer include 'why is there a family living in our substation and does my client maintain their hanging baskets?'
Almost there! Just 10k more signatures for Wild Justice's petition to reach 100k and trigger a parliamentary debate on driven grouse shooting. With such a huge impact on land use and wildlife in England - it's time for change. Add you voice 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7000…
A really lovely, haunting film on curlews. Well done Greengage Films, especially to director Malka, a wonderful lady. Featuring David Gray and Iolo Williams : Watch “Stunned By Silence - vimeo.com/1021518362
Congratulations to Wild Justice ! If you would like to stop protected peatland fall victim to wind farm construction please sign our petition too: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7012… Let's get to 8000 this bank holiday!
It’s hard to know where to go with this bill. It appears to be a disaster of monumental proportions. At a time when nature needs us to stand strong, we are exchanging it as a commodity in a bad deal. Thank you George Monbiot for this cry of anger. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Out now, photographer Kate Haslegrave walks to the proposed site of Turbine 28 and photographs what she sees en route. All these species, many highly protected, are threatened by Calderdale Windfarm markavery.info/2025/04/24/gue…
