We were thrilled to welcome His Majesty The King to open the new Seven Sisters National Nature Reserve, part of The King’s series, and launch the King Charles III England Coast Path today. 🌊 These both stand as enduring commitments to protecting nature and public access.

This is a vital step forward. By taking a more strategic view of how we use land we can deliver homes, food security, clean energy and nature recovery — not as competing priorities, but as part of the same joined-up vision.

Land is our most fundamental national asset. Now there’s a plan to use it smarter - for food, homes, nature and clean energy. 🌾 Find out about the Land Use Framework: gov.uk/government/new… #UKGrowth #LandUse

Last week we welcomed green infrastructure experts from Lithuania to Bristol for a knowledge-sharing visit with @BristolCouncil exploring regeneration plans and how our GI Framework puts nature at the heart of city life. 🌿A tour of the city's green spaces brought it all to life.

As Lead Environmental Regulator for the Lower Thames Crossing we are enabling faster decision-making for one of the greenest roads ever. Our new strategy sets how we are going further and faster to recover nature to support growth, health and security.
Defra UK@DefraGovUK

We're streamlining regulation to speed up infrastructure projects without weakening environmental protections. @EnvAgency will be a single point of contact on East West Rail, helping to unlock £6.7bn in growth and support 100,000 new homes. More: gov.uk/government/new…

Bank of England bank notes to carry British wildlife. How about a group of species that went extinct in Britain, but which are now back? Osprey, large blue butterfly, humpback whale, spoonbill, lady’s slipper orchid, and this pool frog, could be candidates. Optimistic, hopeful.

How do we know when a species is truly thriving, not just surviving? 🦇💚 We’ve published new science-based definitions of success for four of England's most vulnerable mammals: Leisler's and Serotine bats, pine martens, and water voles. Read more: naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2026/02/25/def…

We need a farming system that produces food without the expense to nature. 🌾 Recently, our Chair @TonyJuniper visited Leckford Estate to explore how this @Waitrose farm is balancing productive agriculture with nature recovery – working with the land, not against it. ⬇️

More beavers in the South West! 🦫 We were delighted to approve the release of beavers on @nationaltrust's Holnicote Estate in Somerset yesterday. This sits with our broader ambitions on Exmoor to restore habitats, supporting the return of white-tailed eagles and pine martens.
Defra UK@DefraGovUK

Beavers bring extraordinary environmental benefits.🦫 Yesterday, @MaryCreagh_ joined @NaturalEngland, @nationaltrust and partners to witness the wild #beaver release in Somerset. Their gradual, well-planned reintroduction is vital to our mission to protect and restore nature.

Not everyone benefits equally from local green space. 💚 Our People and Nature Survey report reveals where inequalities persist and how quality matters as much as proximity. These findings are shaping our strategy to build nature into everyday life: naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2026/01/27/why…
