@RobBryher These decisions require very difficult trade-offs of benefits and losses. Do councillors have access to technical advice and modelling to inform such trade-offs? The phase 'I thought' suggests a personal rather than an evidence-based process?

@RobBryher I'm concerned that you appear to value trees by what they mean to you personal, as a visual amenity, rather than their value to the ecosystem,

Europe wide study using satellite data on the contribution of trees outside forests shows that although UK has the 2nd lowest tree cover in Europe, it has the 2nd highest tree cover outside of forests from trees in grasslands, hedges and urban areas science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The beauty of sound .. of music, and of the voice A water hose attached to a speaker system -> observable sound vibrations in the water (using a 24 fps camera) Different sound vibration frequencies -> different water patterns edgarciancio885 twitter.com/isabelvalenibi…

We have asked @MarvinJRees to correct the Local Plan Policies Map so that those other SNCIs threatened with development are given full planning protection: bristoltreeforum.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/email-… Hopefully a motion to do this will be brought forward to Full Council Meeting on 9 May.

We must fight to try to save the SNCIs that are still threatened with development. The council has the power to reverse this both by passing a resolution now to correct the SNCI maps on the LP Policies Map and, with the LP review, by removing them altogether as Site Allocations.

Have loved Christopher Alexander and co's A Pattern Language for more than 20 years. Finally have a chance to apply it in my own life in helping design a small hamlet in rural France. Love to hear of anyone else's experience in practical applications.

A very helpful tool in our continuing work to help increase tree canopy cover in #Bristol. Thanks @kitwallace If you can't measure it, you'll never understand it! @KieronDoickFR @CllrEllieking @MarvinJRees

pleased with this solution to showing bi-variate data on a map: regions (LSOAs) are coloured according to the tree canopy with an inner circle coloured according to the level of social deprivation

Finally, we have had formal confirmation that the whole site, including its species rich hedgerows, is within the Yew Tree Farm SNCI!
Phil Sturgeon (BlueSky/Threads @philsturgeon)@philsturgeon

Some developers tried to cut down an ancient hedgerow, in breeding season, with outdated permission that failed to mention a hedgerow, in an area that recently became an SNCI. We just sent them packing. Brilliant job @BristolTreeFora @DanicaPriest @Cathrinmachin and everyone.

Urgent!!!! Contractors have shown up to rip up hedgerows at Yew Tree Farm!! They don’t have planning permission but claim they can rip out ancient hedgerows because there’s no TPO. We need everyone to help stop this ASAP! Please spread this message. @Catherinewith11 needs you.

Soon, most developments will be obliged to achieve at least 10% biodiversity net gain. This article explains how this can be used to protect and benefit our precious urban trees by making sure that it is properly applied. bristoltreeforum.org/2023/04/01/bio…

I used @divbyzero’s 3D model to print some tiles for myself. I found that it’s much easier to assemble after I printed the pattern on paper as reference. I tried to tile without looking but ran into some trouble (third picture). Very fun to play. Thank you @divbyzero !

Super exciting news about Smith, Meyers, @cs_kaplan, Goodman-Strauss's discovery of an "einstein"—a single shape that tiles the plane aperiodically! I decided to create a 3D-printable version of it. You can find it here: thingiverse.com/thing:5923307 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798
