If you’re attending the @FSAForestSchool conference - come to my session on Renaturing Playgrounds! #hackney #stokenewington #renaturelondon eequ.org/experience/105… #forestschool

We've been called to a suspected gas explosion on Dumont Road in #StokeNewington. There are road closures on Stoke Newington Church Street from the junction of the A10 to Defoe Road. Kersley Road is completely shut. Motorists are advised to avoid the area. london-fire.gov.uk/incidents/2025…

@AtomLearning hello your site is incredibly slow this morning on all our Macs…. Is there an issue? We can’t load or answer questions on two Macs

@mindthedawes Thanks will do!!

@HackneyOutdoors Hi - yes you should hopefully find your ICE is still going as far as Aachen but you’ll need to change to a RE train there to reach Köln. Your ticket will be valid on any DB service but you might need to rebook a seat reservation if you want one.

Good morning. Headed to Cologne via Brussels. ICE booked but problems en route mean a change of trains in Aachen is needed 🇩🇪

@EurostarUK do you know your customer service line is going dead for anyone trying to call about current disruption? It’s dropping me every time I try to call

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@KewMycology @kewgardens Hello do you still have these maps available for people visiting today? I’d love to mushroom spot at Kew!

@Microlambert Well it does include San Sebastián, often voted as one of the best places to eat in Europe/ the world (I can vouch for the cheesecake..)

Ignoring the ‘best in the world’ bit, which is obviously a joke, is this really a culinary area? Lots of replies talking about seafood, which I confess total ignorance of

@FlynnForest @ukfungusday We’ve got a special large kids fire steel which can be sparked repeatedly and fast. By using this we got the mushroom going. I was quite surprised

@HackneyOutdoors @ukfungusday Been wanting to try that for ages. Was it hard to get it to catch?

Fungus Fact for #ukfungusday: Ötzi the Iceman, a body dated to around 3300 BCE, had fungi with fire-making and medicinal properties among his possessions. Read more about fungi in history and archaeology here: ukfungusday.co.uk/fungiinarchaeo…

@SimonOntheverge @ukfungusday No I didn’t! We don’t light these very often tho.

@HackneyOutdoors @ukfungusday Did you know Cramp balls are the only home of the Scarce fungus weevil which has a two year life cycle only emerging to mate then die? These uncommon weevils are likely to become even more rare due to the decline in Ash

@_this_happens Too many roads … we need little tiny bridges or tunnels linking William Patten, Abney

@HackneyOutdoors Is always worth trying! But unlikely I'm afraid!

Great work today with Year 1 surveying which habitats we have in our playground, and planning further improvements! #educationnaturepark #renaturelondon #climateactionplans

@_this_happens Thanks Kirsten! We’re also helping schools develop their Climate Action Plans by running activities like this. The kids wanted to attract hedgehogs tho - is this possible on Church St?

@HackneyOutdoors Brilliant stuff. Proper fun and age appropriate environmental/natural history education - desperately needed. Great job Nina!

The third and final round of our 2024 Local School Nature Grants programme is open until November 8! You could get free staff training for your school and £500 to spend on outdoor equipment including fire pits, planters, and waterproof clothing! Apply 👇 ltl.org.uk/projects/local…
