In case you missed it check out Guy Shrubsole's appearance on BBC Countryfile chatting all things temperate rainforest and catch up with the whole episode on BBC iPlayer!👇







"Two temperate rainforests in #Wales and on the #isleofman have been named as the first to be restored by the The Wildlife Trusts, as part of a wider programme to help the rare habitat recover across the British Isles". SOoooo excited about this!!! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Great to see the The Wildlife Trusts progressing their plans for temperate rainforest restoration & expansion! This must be a spur to the UK Govt to act too - moving from acknowledging the importance of Britain’s rainforests to more protections & funding: theguardian.com/environment/20…

I had the honour of hosting Guy Shrubsole's Lost Rainforests of Britain📗presentation. We engaged in a thought-provoking conversation about the significance of conservation and reforestation in both 🇲🇽 & 🇬🇧, and our collective obligation to safeguard our forests for the coming generations🌲


Cornish farm launches project to triple UK’s temperate rainforest Delighted to support farmer & landowner Merlin Hanbury-Tenison's Thousand Year Trust, dedicated to the restoration of temperate rainforest in Britain: theguardian.com/environment/20…


Useful to see this PQ response by Minister Trudy Harrison about support for temperate rainforests under ELMs. It's great that rainforest restoration is being supported in Landscape Recovery - but am speaking with landowners currently about gaps in CS. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…


Invasive rhododendron is choking our temperate rainforests. But groups like the National Trust are working hard to eradicate it - such as at this site on the Exmoor coast (the purple swathes in the background). Great to visit it with local MP Selaine Saxby today! 1/


20% of the UK has optimum conditions for rainforest to thrive, yet it covers only 0.5% of land. On #WorldRainforestDay, we want to highlight the fantastic work by Lost Rainforests of Britain to change this and restore the UK's natural temperate rainforests🌳🌲 📸creds: Alice Russell


Hugely excited that the Duchy of Cornwall, working with their tenant farmer & Natural England, will expand the iconic temperate rainforest of Wistman's Wood through natural regeneration I hope this inspires others to bring back Britain's lost rainforests theguardian.com/environment/20…



I’m delighted that the Prime Minister has today announced a new rainforests strategy for England: gov.uk/government/new… This is something I called for in my book & campaigned for with Seahorse Environmental. Thousands of you signed our petition calling for a strategy. Thread: 1/


📢HUGE win for Lost Rainforests of Britain today as the Govt. announces a new plan to recover England's temperate rainforests. With the wonderful Guy Shrubsole & our founder Isabella Gornall we've been campaigning for the past 2 years for Govt. to protect & restore this unique habitat💚
