100 ancient beech trees felled with Forestry Commission consent. Without an incredibly compelling explanation this looks and feels like nothing short of cultural and environmental vandalism. @woodlandtrust #trees theguardian.com/environment/20…

I just discovered Julian Hoffmann Anton's stunning #maps 😍😍😍 Good #datavis communicates in such an impactful way. This one, showing the extent of the Great Fire of #London, brings home the scale of that 350 year old tragedy & destruction with a stunning immediacy.

For the fourth year in a row, the UK Government has authorised the 'emergency' use of a banned pesticide which is toxic to bees 🐝☠️ The Wildlife Trusts are calling for this decision to be reversed! But what is the story with sugar beet farmers? 🤔 (1/4)

For anyone unconvinced that rural land use makes a difference to runoff and pollution issues, heres the confluence of the Dulas Brook and River Dore at Pontrilas after 5mm of rain last night.

An interesting article: bit.ly/3SlVcFd Preserving our remaining ancient forests has never been more vital. The City of London Corporation City of London successfully fought a ground-breaking legal battle to conserve #EppingForest with the Epping Forest Act of 1878.

Happy #WorldWetlandDay! Today we celebrate the ponds, lakes, bogs, rivers & streams in #EppingForest. Our wetlands are vital ecosystems contributing to the overall biodiverse mosaic of habitats that can be found in this ancient woodland. Here's Butler's Retreat Pond today! 🐟🐸

Yesterday this blackcap sang in #EppingForest. Take a moment to listen to the rich trills and quavers that earn him the nickname 'northern nightingale'. #ukbirds #birdtwitter #EppingForestSpring24 #warblers #nature #BirdsOfTwitter

In woodland glades across #EppingForest, green longhorn moths dance in shafts of spring sunshine. Look for the iridescent glinting of metallic wings that earn them the moniker #fairy #moths.

Spot the gorse orb weaver spider, elegantly blending into a wild carrot umbel left standing overwinter. By managing Patmore's Field as a wild meadow since 2021, #EppingForest has created crucial habitat and increased atmospheric carbon capture: youtube.com/watch?v=K05Xo8…

From the jewel-like banded demoiselle to the striking common darter, damselflies and #dragonflies are a wonder to spot across #EppingForest. 🌿🐉✨ But while they dazzle in the air, their story begins in the hidden depths of another world...
