@guyshrubsole @Right_2Roam Amazing news!

BREAKING: The right to wild camp on Dartmoor has been restored! Darwall's court case sparked a huge backlash & the biggest land rights protest in a generation. But this is not the end - we now need a new Right to Roam Act for England. Join @Right_2Roam! theguardian.com/environment/20…

@guyshrubsole @DevonWildlife Wonderful news! An example to be repeated through the country!

‘Magical’ wildlife-rich rainforest being created in Devon Absolutely delighted that this is happening near where I live in Totnes - on a farm owned by a Community Benefit Society, in partnership with ⁦⁦@DevonWildlife⁩ theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…

@guyshrubsole Hurrah!

@sky_larking @Redrow Shocking display of ecocide! When will this be illegal?!

I visited this site of casual biodiversity destruction today - a long hedge, that was in blossom, that contained nests, shelter, life - now uniformed lay slashed to the ground: Sawston, South Cambs - courtesy of @Redrow developers

"The assessment found that the pumping station was spilling in dry weather in breach of its permit." Yea but what are you going to do about it. The @EnvAgency demonstrating yet once again that they are incapable of regulating the water industry. nwemail.co.uk/news/23464061.…

@guyshrubsole @CornwallCouncil @openspacessoc Risk matrix! So much to unpack there!

Update on this apparent removal of a footpath: after emailing @CornwallCouncil's Access Team, received this reply. Apparently electric fences across the footpath don't 'score highly on the risk matrix' & so they're 'not able to give a timescale for an inspection' 🙄@openspacessoc

Hi @CornwallCouncil @RamblersGB @openspacessoc this right of way appears to have been removed unlawfully? St Neot footpath 39, shown on OS + on Definitive Map, but no footpath signs at either end, gates tied shut, way through blocked... map.cornwall.gov.uk/reports_defini…

@guyshrubsole @CwallWildlife @BotanyCornwall @danryan_nature @MerlinHanbury Beautiful!

Yayy! Found Hazel Gloves fungus on a Boxing Day family walk in Cabilla Woods @CwallWildlife reserve. Found it growing on 4 separate hazels down by River Fowey. 1/

Today we explored the valley south of Merrivale. This part of Dartmoor has long fascinated me - the ancient ecology of the Walkham Valley coupled with the strange patchwork of access (or lack thereof) on this part of the moors...🧵1/

@B_Strawbridge @ClimateMuseumUK Yes definitely!

A couple of questions for anyone who spots this tweet, please. Genuinely interested to know 🙏 1. Are you aware that a 2 week international conference on the world's #biodiversity crisis (#COP15) is taking place in Canada? 2. If so, are you following it? 3. If not, why not?

@guyshrubsole @Right_2Roam @EveryonesStars Brilliant! Working in Bristol otherwise I would definitely have been there. ✊🌳🏕️

Outside the Royal Courts of Justice to defend wild camping with ⁦@Right_2Roam⁩ & ⁦@EveryonesStars⁩! Wealthy landowner Alexander Darwall is trying to extinguish our legal right to wild camp on Dartmoor. We say NO!

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 @GreenJennyJones' Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill has successfully passed through the House of Lords and will now make its way to the Commons. Show your support for this groundbreaking bill here 👇 #EllasLaw actionnetwork.org/petitions/supp…

@GeorgeMonbiot As an artist and gardener it is so confusing being in rapid seasonal change for planting and growing with bio diversity in mind. It rolls in faster than ever. Just have to stay alert to help creatures and message climate awareness wherever possible 💚

Thank you everyone for your frankly terrifying responses. It's astonishing to hear about so many species flowering unseasonally. I've never known anything like it.

Everything is out of synch. And soon we will be out of time.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳
