Police bans on #ExtinctionRebellion protests in London is an unlawful constraint of our rights to #FreedomofExpression and peaceful assembly. Protesters' rights must be respected and their calls for urgent #climateaction heard. amn.st/60121GHZw

Naomi Klein gets huge applause from the 2000 strong crowd here at the Barbican when she states “Extinction Rebellion are not the criminals. They are trying to help us survive. The criminals are those in power who ordered their criminalisation of their protest!” Please RT to agree

More than 50bn land animals are slaughtered for food each year. To produce 1kg of beef requires 25kgs of grain & 15000 litres of water. The agricultural economy is destroying our ability to tackle the #climateemergency & destroying our public health. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Planning our #art and #craft studio refurb at the mo.It’s so important that children’s learning spaces are not only fit to purpose but truly inspirational. Being in a wildflower meadow gives us a head start! #studio #natureinspiredcreativity

“Fantastic camp. The groups are small and the kids really develop a sense of being in a big family, #exploring, #foraging and importantly #cooking together. The food recipes are non compromising and delicious. There are no other camps like this“ Akiko Wanaka

Monday’s always full of challenges for Louisa and I. There’s so much to be done both at Gather Green and shouting about and organising our camps. It can feel overwhelming at times but we are lucky to have each other’s support and of our wonderful FHE community. #bluemonday

Our heritage and the language that runs through it is as much about the land, the wildlife and the people who express, represent and embody it than anything else and a richer experience gives our visitor richer language. 🌱💥💫

🐧Sun March 1st we will be guiding children to turn bird boxes into bird houses fixed to our lovely rustic wooden posts with accompanying bird seed balls to install in a row in our meadow. It will be a lovely greeting to all our visitors that in a way says “ Nature lives here!”

In a world where children have so many more distractions, creating experiences that immerse children in the natural world has never been more important. Their guides on each journey must have the skill and magic to capture the children's imagination and engage them fully⚡️ 🌿
