Save the Middlewick Ranges🍃💚🍃

@TonyJuniper @Steveredwolf the @mod_dio wanted to cut the acid grassland on middlewick in march but reluctantly backed down, failed to adhere to a grass cutting management plan last year, this is why we need a sssi and proper management

@Steveredwolf Those pressures can cause problems too (you missed out the damage caused by early mowing for silage in some places), but do read the original link & the reflections of Ian Newton, one of our most accomplished ornithologists.

This guy was supposed to be a naturalist who would help Nature - He isnt he spouts this sort of rubbish -its human activity thats the problem shooting,developing,disturbing, felling, burning,clearning, off lead dogs that is the problem not nature

@TonyJuniper @stuartpengs we have a brand new to the uk species on Middlewick. should that not be protected ???

@stuartpengs If species recovery was the only thing going on then a fair point. It is though one strand among many, all of which are needed. A shame we have to restore some species from near or even actual national extinction, but it’s where we are & work on this is needed.

The sleight of hand with species reintroductions being marketed as 'conservation' the trajectory can only ever be upwards. You're starting from zero so any amount is a 'conservation success'. REAL conservation of declining species is a whole other ball game. It infuriates me that people fall for it as conservation.

@CommunityPlann1 @RosieP4 Please feel free to join us on the day and repost away

Plastering over the damage you are causing with your growth, deregulation and build-baby-build agenda a few weeks before the local elections, you mean? Labour’s destruction of the environment is why 150 groups are joining a national day of action on 18th April communityplanningalliance.org/events-calenda…

@TonyJuniper @NaturalEngland re starting the sssi pipeline should be prioritised , quite easy for you to do

The @NaturalEngland Species Recovery Programme has for decades supported successful efforts for hundreds of species, avoiding or reversing national extinction for dozens. We look forward to making the most of the opportunities that arise from this significant new investment.

@NaturalEngland @TonyJuniper you could start by re opening the sssi pipeline.

Every native species we save strengthens the web of life that supports us all.💚 This extraordinary new investment in the Species Recovery Programme means restoring more thriving ecosystems at scale for a healthier, more resilient future for people and nature.

@saoirse65 @AabCoyi @LukePollard @Channel4 yet in the proposed new plan the mod are complaining if we are granted LGS status they won't be able to manage it ????

@LukePollard @Channel4 Meanwhile you say an MOD site that supports nationally important biodiversity and S41 habitats and species “does not warrant a conservation management plan” - double standards! Please sort your own department out @SaveRanges

The human impact of sewage pollution is a scandal that’s gone on for too long #DirtyBusiness on @Channel4 tells the real stories of whistleblowers and families paying the price for a broken system In Plymouth,we’re leading the way on clean water-but the national fight continues🏊‍♂️

Look out for our adverts on trains going into London over the next few weeks. The website linked to the QR code goes live before Monday, which is official launch of the ads, but we hear some posters are already on trains! If you spot one, take a photo and let us know! This is all linked to our day of action. #VoteForNature #DayOfAction @CommunityPlann1

Ancient and veteran trees to be chopped down, home to thousands of creatures that’s why we are fighting to #SaveOurPenthos #CommunutyOwnership

As we go into the Easter weekend, we have reached 150 groups signed up for the day of action for nature, parks and green spaces! Happy Easter 🐣 and enjoy nature 🌳 🐦 🐝 @CommunityPlann1 @WoodlandTrust @CPRE @_BCT_ @BadgerTrust @ChrisGPackham google.com/mymaps/viewer?…

@RosieP4 @Stjohnsfieldsra @PylonsEAnglia @CommunityPlann1 proud to be taking part in this national day of action to protect green spaces , wildlife & nature

Local coverage for the day of action @SaveRanges @Stjohnsfieldsra @PylonsEAnglia @CommunityPlann1 gazette-news.co.uk/news/25987914.…

Britain is on track to miss its legally binding nature recovery targets. That means fewer species, weaker ecosystems and risks to the food security we rely on. This isn’t inevitable. Labour can turn it around with a properly funded nature rescue plan.

Environmental vandalism isn't what you promised in your manifesto, @Keir_Starmer. You cannot build on an SSSI site @mtpennycook. Just what don't you understand about #biodiversity being essential to #human life? If you don't believe me, ask @CHinchliffMP!

@nfsway60 @natalieben @Love_plants @mod_dio @NaturalEngland @RosieP4 @mod_dio still want to sell it for housing. failed to adhere to an agreed grass cutting regime with @NaturalEngland @EssexWildlife, threatening now to cut grass in wet condition and skylarks already nesting there

@SaveRanges @natalieben @Love_plants @mod_dio @NaturalEngland Oh no, not again, I thought common sense had prevailed and the housing threat to Middlewick Ranges had gone away. How dare they keep destroying our environment ... @RosieP4

Waxcap grasslands are rare, beautiful, and ecologically vital habitats – yet they lack the protection they deserve. The Government must recognise their importance and act to safeguard them. #NatureRecovery #Biodiversity | @Love_plants Response 👉 questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…

@greenarteries With the nightingale in such decline, trying to build on two of their biggest remaining breeding sites (at Lodge Hill & at Middlewick Ranges) is really quite outrageous.
