Was really fun to have Countryfile down at Wakehurst the other week. Tune in to see the different aspects of our Nature Unlocked Program :)

Ditto Wales, Cymru🌳

With the 100,000-strong Restore Nature Now march today, the nature movement in the UK took a big step forward. Not only did the large NGOs mobilise; there were also thousands of people who love their local wildlife but who’d never attended a demo before. The green giant stirs.

Another sordid chapter in of how the Wye - one of our most iconic rivers - has been allowed to die under a flood of chicken sh☠️t… Our investigations reveal how intensive egg farms have drains running from their sheds direct into the river - down which the 💩 of 100s of 1,000s of 🐓 freely flows 😡🤬🤯 Full article from today’s Observer in 🧵 below ⬇️

Scanning the @nidirect #BelvoirOak this morning as a side trip to @BritishEcolSoc. This tree completes 4 nations of our @WoodlandTrust funded #SCATTER project.

That’s me :)) my first poster showcased at @Silvilaser23 🌳

That's a wrap on @Silvilaser23! Despite a fire alarm 🚒 power cuts ⚡ a cyber attack 💻 and unseasonable heat 🥵 we think the conference was a great success! Thank you to @UCLgeography MSc students+others for helping us run the show ☺

@tommaso_jucker @AYMpazi @AliceRosen @CDahlsjo Looking forward to seeing some results! And a wonderful opportunity to work at Wytham Woods! If only we had a site like this in Bristol @BristolBioSci

@tommaso_jucker @MerlinSheldrake For sure!

@wbnofficial Lovely shirt film on waterbear about the loss of temperate rainforests in the Tongass National Park. Devastating to see how greed for short term gain is destroying the small pockets of these ancient ecosystems we have left.

The bit on the top left there about garden chemicals killing songbirds really caught my eye. Good that is getting in the paper & hopefully more of those products will remain in the shops unsold.

🚨 The Retained EU Law (REUL) Bill poses huge threats to our wildlife and wild places, with serious implications for environmental protections in the UK. Find out what is happening today: somersetwildlife.org/news/four-nati… #SomersetWT #REULBill #REUL @g_stokes18

The #RetainedEULawBill returns to @HouseofCommons on Wednesday for Report Stage It represents an unprecedented #AttackOnDemocracy and an #AttackOnNature If @RishiSunak is serious about protecting both, he should withdraw this Bill, dreamed up by Jacob Rees-Mog, and think again

Thank you @guyshrubsole for this absolute treat of a read. Written beautifully and details amazing work being done across the UK 🌿 We know what needs to be done to replenish this land, I will dedicate my career to this cause! 🦫🦅 #lostrainforestsofbritain @ASRainforest

Meanwhile, in Brighton, a special plaque was unveiled in honour of @SouthernWater who took our money & filled our beaches with shit..
