Learning to work with nature continues to give results.

I’ve struggled with bad erosion on my riverbank. Lots of attempts to reduce it failed.

I recently planted as much coppiced willow as I could. It has now come to life & will hold the bank together indefinitely, for free!

Great work from Chris Packham getting the plight of Hoads Wood into the national news. All the authorities must now be getting the simple message loud & clear. They need to commit now to removing the rubbish & restoring the woods, with work to begin before summer.

🔥📢historic #ClimateJustice decisions upcoming today at European Court of #HumanRights
⚖️Today's decisions could shape #ClimateAction policies in all 46 🇪🇺European States & beyond
🧵A live thread on key stakes & takeaways from the Court's hearing taking place in Strasbourg⬇️

Very proud that colleagues in Chambers were part of the groundbreaking KlimaSeniorinnen case that today recognised that climate inaction by governments can breach the European Convention on Human Rights.

A momentous day in climate change litigation today & this is an excellent summary. Whilst a number of cases failed on procedural points, the fact that the KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz case succeeded on applying human rights principles to the climate crisis is a huge win!

Protection for nature in UK is already threadbare, & now a number of Tory MP’s want to gut it further, in order to further interests of a minority of destructive farmers & landowners.

These plans must be resisted: what do these Conservative MP’s even think they are conserving?

REVEALED: 18 Tory MPs have written to Environment Secretary Steve Barclay urging him to gut Natural England’s powers to create nature reserves (SSSIs)

This latest #AttackOnNature must not succeed
