I am proud of our little PAS environment team - genuine experts on biodiversity, nature and nutrients (and lovely too). We are growing again - perhaps you fancy bringing your knowledge of protected sites into our gang? jobtrain.co.uk/LGA/vacancies.…

We had an in-person meetup recently with some of the #nutrients catchments. Muddled thoughts follow planningadvisor.wordpress.com/2023/07/15/nut…

We've just run a couple of "So you think you want to apply to the planning skills delivery fund?" events for councils. Lots to think about. As always I'm impressed by sparky people wanting to try new things.

We're just pulling together our end of year evaluation pack. 95% of our interactions with people at events are now online. It gives us big engagement numbers but doesn't make lasting friends. 😭
