There were lots of excellent chants today, but my favourite chant from today: the simple & heartfelt “More birds, more trees” conveys beautifully what so many of us yearn for & demand

The black & white facts of the #Climate and #Nature emergency are a stark and painful reality! But the colour and vibrancy of the Restore Nature Now still put a smile on our faces, reminding us that where there is action there is hope! 📷🧵

Dear BBC News (UK) we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.

#Heatwave, you say? We can do something about that. 🌳

Back in February we said farewell to one of the largest trees on our nursery, our 1750 litre Quercus cerris; and it safely made it's way to The Fenn Bell Conservation Project. The Binturongs enclosure for this tree is not quite complete but we still wanted to share the progress!

Street trees encourage walking 🌳🚶‍♂️ Trees make our streets more inviting. When you stroll down a tree-lined avenue, it feels different—more sheltered, more stimulating. This pleasant environment encourages people to get out and walk or cycle. It’s that simple!

Would you give up a couple of parking spaces🚗🚗 if it meant you could have some trees🌳 in your street? 🤔 Often there can be a straight choice - a parking space for a tree. This is particularly so in very narrow streets. It's a point of a lot of debate...

Thinking about #LifeInTrees, thanks to this video. From location (natural nests in trees, this nestbox may be in a tree, is made from a tree) to materials (twigs, moss) to food (trees feed lots of insects, in turn feeding birds). Launchpad for life!

I definitely did not expect that! Private Eye Magazine

I passed this exuberant, cloud-like ivy bush the other day & noticed it was positively humming with bees & other insects looking for some autumnal food. We need to stop the war on ivy- it’s a valuable & much-needed native plant.

Trees transform streets🌳 Next time you're walking along a tree-lined pavement, think for a moment, about how much of a difference they make.. Let's fill ALL our streets with trees Treesforstreets.org

🌳Trees – just make our streets look amazing😎 We spend a lot of time talking about how urban trees help keep us cool, reduce pollution, restore nature, help us adapt to climate change, calm traffic etc But lets just🥂celebrate how great they look, and how that makes us feel🙂

At the end of busy week I’m reflecting on the highly partial coverage devoted by the media to different issues. Massive coverage this week on a farm demo, but a far larger demonstration on Nature in June got hardly anything. Both about land. Why might that be?

We have an account, but no content yet. Look forward to meeting you there.
