Protect Earth

The planet will not be protected by supporting fascists and Nazis, so we’ll see you over on Threads. Also on Instagram and LinkedIn, but definitely not here. @protectearthuk?xmt=AQGzprT4RtsxmFC67-0D5AULNA4qDhosdPZfQTQQuTu3L_s" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@protectearthu…

Trees - wonderful natural machines making every aspect of city living better. Straight from an expert's mouth! buff.ly/4hLQk8f

PLANTED! This weekend, we collaborated with @ProtectEarthUK to plant a whopping 2,600 trees on Mossgiel 🌳 These trees will grow to provide shelter belts for the cows, walks for the humans and better biodiversity for nature - a win for everyone! An ENORMOUS thank moo to the army of volunteers who came along to help; with food & coffee provided by the @gilmartinsbakery team 💪 We never stop trying to do better tomorrow than we did today - and we’re not slowing down on it either #MossgielFarm #Trees #PlantingFutures

Look at the map. As someone who shoots I’m appalled and embarrassed in equal measure. Fully metastasised across the entire country with a hot spot on my patch. Bloody hideous. Well done @Natures_Voice

@pete_ar_fryn @ThrimbyFarms @herdyshepherd1 @NealHockley @Rosewood_Farm @HybuCigCymru Easiest solution for everyone would be to have EWCO grants pay out BEFORE the work is done instead of AFTER. It would mean landowners don’t need to have thousands of pounds tucked away to be able to do reforestation work. We help where we can but also don’t have infinite cash!

Charly @pocketfullofac1 visited @philsturgeon from @ProtectEarthUK who’s restoring High Wood, a 64-acre #ancientwoodland in #Liskeard back to its #temperaterainforest glory. 🌱 With only 2.5% ancient woodland left in the UK, restoration is key! Stay tuned for our next film. 🎥

You may remember that we supported the charity @ProtectEarthUK when they were raising funds to try to buy and protect Blackswarth Rd Wood. They are now looking at a site near Bath and this time there is no auction process. You can find out more on crowdfunder.co.uk/p/reforestatio…

We’ve been filming with @philsturgeon @ProtectEarthUK down in Cornwall on their #AncientWoodlandRestoration site for a new film. Interestingly they are also looking to take on a new #wetlands project on a riverside parcel of land near #Bath. Please donate to their crowdfunder!

@Middle_Marches CLT is raising £240,000 to buy & protect two wildflower meadows in Shropshire, home to the county’s largest colony of green-winged orchids. Help safeguard this vital habitat! 🌿🌸 #SaveOurMeadows #CLT #Conservation 🌐 buff.ly/3B7tbfP

Exciting news for people near Bath, we’re starting a new community woodland! Contribute to this crowdfunder, because if we can raise enough money to buy this 70 acres of disused farmland we can do our most amazing project yet! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/reforestatio…

This is bad for farmers, bad for biodiversity, bad for climate targets, and completely unnecessary when the government could save £15bn scrapping damaging road schemes instead. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

You know I bang on about scrub a lot? And how to create it in a useful way on farms? Well look at this! This is NOT a hedge. It’s an infield scrub patch and it’s glorious!!! Easy to grow, can be farmed around, sitting on a steep rocky bit of land and full of Food!! Love it!

You can pop your details in here and we’ll be in touch with next steps. There’s no time for messing about. protect.earth/landowners

Local authorities, water companies, landowners, various Trusts, if you have knackered habitat and are struggling for help, get in touch. If you’re broke we’ll find/raise funding, source volunteers, bring the equipment, and if all else fails our trustees will do it theirself.

@misterduncan @StuartGoodwin73 @guyshrubsole Eden Project students have been helping us knock over young conifers to speed up natural regen in the old plantation sections! 🙌🏻 You’ll find out more about High Wood towards the end of Guy’s book, he mentioned it briefly before we’d done much but progress is coming on strong.

@StuartGoodwin73 @guyshrubsole @ProtectEarthUK That makes sense. Eden Project have been involved 🙂

A visit to Goliath Falls NNR, Bodmin (ish). Few birds were heard, a Nuthatch being the pick. Am reading @guyshrubsole The Lost Rainforests of Britain so it is educational seeing a fragment of temperate rainforest. A contrast to the woods back in Kent. A few ferns to ID.

The next 100 people to follow us on Threads will get a free native British tree certificate. You’ll see what species was planted, and where, so can go visit it and see how the woodland is doing. @protectearthuk?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@protectearthu…

High Wood is a sanctuary for threatened bird species, including some on the UK's Red List. Discover how recent observations reveal this woodland's vital role in supporting biodiversity. Read more about High Wood's wildlife. buff.ly/3yGpGfz

When a community-led reforestation project faced setbacks, Protect Earth took action to restore it. Despite not being our project, we saw the importance of supporting the community by self-funding the effort. Click the link to read more: buff.ly/46LlyHC

Worried about the climate crisis & not sure what you can do? Helping charities such as @ProtectEarthUK financially or through volunteering is one of the most effective things you can do. They have huge amounts of knowledge, enthusiasm, contacts & energy.

We’ve finished budget planning for the upcoming planting season, and it’s looking positive. We’re doing 100,000 trees this year, doubling the work we’ve done in the last four years(!!), but cash flow is the tricky bit. Help us by sponsoring a trees now. protect.earth/donate
