The auction is now live - lots of fantastic Christmas ideas and I'm sure there's someone on here fancying a days Fly Fishing Instuction on the Wharfe somewhere! @wns_nats @Addingham_Group @stevecheetham @Ilkleyu3a @IlkleyChat proceeds go to the Community Buyout of Weston Woods

1/2 A really good overview of the updated Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive. The changes are a really positive development that address some of the issues identified in our national parks study where some small works were shown to be the most polluting. ohbp.org/2024/11/08/rev…

Looking fwd to our biggest event of the year. Do come and have a chat. Stalls on solar panels, heat pumps, bike repairs & lots more. And you can Ask a Scientist from USA about climate change and what's happening over there. @otley2030 @Addingham_Group @JohnMarsham @IlkleyChat

Excellent conference with leading national experts and scientists giving great talks. Come and join us on 22nd Sept partnered with Ilkley Car Free Festival. @Ilkleyu3a @Addingham_Group @WildaboutOtley @UnderwaterMedia @PFreeNWLeeds @MenstonNature @wns_nats @BradfordNature

@UnderwaterMedia Yep that’s correct Mark, sign of nutrient pollution. Can you grab a bit and send it me? Rick

Once clean river bed now looks like this, even more surprising is the depth is only 3ft yet i'm now having to use underwater lights to even film. Once prime barbel ground now gone. Someone did mention this is filamentous algae? any experts out there that can clarify.

Great piece on chemical mixtures in our rivers by @leanahosea in the Guardian today. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Fitting end to our Water Week. Full house and outstanding presentations at our Wonders and Woes of the River Wharfe event yesterday afternoon followed by field demonstrations, a guided walk and a film in the evening. Thanks to all involved!

Fascinating walk around the village last night with @Addingham_Group and @wns_nats looking at the spaces given over to help nature. Thanks to all the hard work of the volunteers over the years 👏

Our Climate Action Addingham Wildlife Week is off to a good start, potting out wildflower seedlings yesterday. Today is open wildlife garden at 9 Main St, and tomorrow a bout of balsam bashing. See the full programme of events. All welcome!

@campbellclaret He has a green one as well!!

They really are a bunch of shameless charlatans. I think we all know that red = Labour. And blue = Tory. Robbie Moore is the Tory candidate in Keighley and Ilkley. I get why he might be ashamed of his party but this is straightforward conmanship. Vote John Grogan!

Our next event is our most important yet. Free tickets eventbrite.co.uk/e/you-are-the-… . Please RT @GreenRupertRead @ClimateIlkley @otley2030 @Addingham_Group @ZeroCHarrogate @LeedsClimateCom @ClimateActLeeds @JohnMarsham ilkleychat.co.uk/post/fourth-ev…
