You what, Wales? No protective bathing status for Wye because ‘having bathers in the river will harm the environment, considering its protected status'
Swimming is now officially an act of resistance. #LoveYourRiver #savethewye

Delighted to receive my books 'Coedwig Gwyllt- Wild Woodland' documenting a more than ten-year love affair with a local temperate rainforest. I am thrilled that Guy Shrubsole agreed to write an absolutely beautiful foreword for me.

1 year ago TODAY my swift brick petition closed with 110k signatures leading to a proposal supported by experts.
WHY no action?
'Apparently Rishi Sunak doesn’t like the idea&has blocked it.' - Zac Goldsmith
Our PM doesn't want to save our icons of summer from extinction.
A typically torrential April walk on Dartmoor this afternoon discussing commons, moorland history & environmental politics with Dartmoor historian Matthew Kelly (Matt Kelly), Tony Whitehead & Lisa Schneidau… and yes given Matt’s twitter handle we had to visit Scorhill stone circle!
1/3: Hot on the heels of Campaign for National Parks #NationalParks Health Check, which highlighted that just 6% of National Parks are well-managed for nature, great to see that nature recovery has come up as the top priority for the Yorkshire Dales National Park National Park. cravenherald.co.uk/news/24259981.…
Also good to see recognition that 'Nature will be central to each of the missions' the party has set out. We hope Keir Starmer will add nature recovery explicitly to his mission statement and all party leaders will explain to the public how they'd safeguard the future of nature.
Our natural world is great for our health and wellbeing.
Labour's mission-driven approach will mobilise every arm of government to improve the health of our country.
Looking forward to working with Steve Reed on improving mental health by providing better access to nature 👇🏻
We're at 6,378 signatures for our petition to Steve Barclay to approve the £10,000,000 budget required to start clearing Hoad's Wood from 27,000 tonnes of illegally dumped landfill no later than 14 June 2024. 🗓️
Please sign & share far and wide 💚🙏

“Starmer will need bold policies to meet public demand for nature recovery. Now we have the statement of ambition – next, the public deserve to know how Labour would deliver.” - sound analysis as ever from Richard Benwell theguardian.com/environment/20…
Good to see Steve Reed recognise that the next Government must redouble action to halt wildlife decline, with a promise Labour would do it.
Hints here about policies, but lots left unsaid. We'll need much more detail ahead of the election, please.
