Wishing the very best of luck to Chris Packham today at the Court of Appeal for #HS2! Our evidence shows the risks to nature are too great for this scheme continue: wildlifetrusts.org/hs2

Today I am fighting again to #StopHS2 in the Court of Appeal – this vanity project is appalling , unnecessary and frankly , now redundant. Here's 10 (ish) reasons why HS2 must be stopped immediately:

HS2 - AN UPDATE Massive thanks to the brilliant team at Leigh Day for collating the case for a Judicial Review so superbly presented by David Wolfe QC from @matrixchambers at the RCJ today . Articulate , eloquent , considered & convincing . He did everyone proud - thank you

Petition: Commit to a public review of HS2 project and suspend all on-going work now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/3145…

One thing that gullible MPs must stop believing is the HS2 claim to be planting thousands of trees to replace the woodlands and forests being destroyed. HS2 plants tiny saplings, far too close together for any to thrive, then walk away with zero maintenance. This is the reality.

Support from an unexpected quarter. No less welcome for that though.

“The precise cause of Sunday’s flash flood is not known, but we are now certain that the effects of the climate crisis have made already fragile ecosystems such as the Himalayan glaciers more prone to extreme events like this.” independent.co.uk/independentpre…

There is a lot of emphasis these days on PLANTING trees. Here’s a nice little video from @KneppSafaris to remind us that alongside putting saplings into tubes there is another approach, & it is rocket fuel for wildlife m.youtube.com/watch?v=0UUfxw…
