Very excited about visiting #HextonHills this coming week with my Natural England team! Lots of great stuff underway for #peopleandnature with partners in this #landscape by Natural England West Anglia Team #NatureRecovery.

Insects of all kinds are way down in & around #Cambridge this year. Judging by comments responding to this piece for The @Guardian we are not alone. Set against a period of longer-term decline Nature recovery is going to require a major & sustained effort theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Lovely flying visit to Askham Bog as a pre-meet with Natural England colleagues. I love the way visits like this provide such powerful nuggets of insight for informing how we do things. (Oh and doesn’t bog myrtle smell wonderful!) Thanks to Dave from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋 for the tour.

It’s ‘Knepping’!! ☺️ Lots of #natural capital benefits here but particularly fab that ensuring people have access to #nature is so central to these projects. Really special’: Farm near London to be rewilded to enable new housing in Essex. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

In taking forward our mission for Nature’s recovery the Natural England Board relies on advice from its Science Advisory Committee. We need some new members. Might you have the skills & knowledge needed, & be willing to share those to help? See here ⬇️ assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66a23b41…

Hard to beat the wonderful subtle colours of #chalkdownland at #AstonRowantNNR. Taking in the views with the troop of #Dadimas walkers today. Such a pleasure to walk and talk, sharing knowledge and bringing together cultures and generations in #SouthAsianHeritageMonth.

Another exciting event in our programme. Come join our #bat walk in #Benson on Sat 24th Aug. The river, chalkstream and churchyard are calling points. #localnature #naturerecovery Pls RT!

Would you like to help shape the future of nature recovery? Natural England is seeking to appoint new members from across the scientific community to join its Science Advisory Committee (NESAC), providing vital advice on and scrutiny of our science and evidence work.

Unexpectedly fab experience watching #DavidGilmour play a rehearsal gig last night in a small venue in Brighton. £30 very well spent indeed! Feel lucky to have been there as have really only been a fan by default! Donal McGurk 😬

Very excited to see this initiative emerge!! There are so many benefits for people from #greenspace and #AccessToNature, so it’s fantastic to see this route to putting #GreenInfrastructure at the heart of places. #UrbanNatureRecovery Connecting People with Nature
