Loving the new wild flower strip in one of our local playgrounds. I know some people would be dissatisfied that it's not native, but it's way better than the amenity grass which was there before; and still covered in pollinators.

@rosie_a_fisher And we also need to think about biodiversity in space and time over larger landscapes. The regulator for new woodland considers all these issues in deciding whether to grant permission to plant, but this is never explained in threads, perhaps because they don’t know.

@rosie_a_fisher Some fundamentals missing from the original thread though. When agriculture stops you can get colonisation of hill land by bird species that were probably not there or in low numbers before. If anything new planting land sees an influx of species absent previously.

Imagine writing about farming without using the term agriculture or food. Well @youngb48 pulls it off when lobbing for more trees and forestry policy. No mention of timber or silviculture. Truly stunning! politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

Honoured to receive TRH on a visit to the London Borough of #Wandsworth to champion the amazing work done @StMarksSW11 by @WandsworthFB. Fantastic volunteers dedicated to helping those in immediate need & referring onto a network of support services to resolve underlying problems
Clarence House@ClarenceHouse

The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall today thanked @WandsworthFB volunteers and staff for their vital work supporting the community during a visit to the food bank in South London.

@ArielBrunner Interesting to see what the research is, if it’s anything more than a 150m buffer around existing woodland using GIS. Any consideration of other factors that limit or support establishment from seed?

Thread on how governments are choosing to spend money on ecologically dubious tree planting rather than promoting cheap, resilent and biodiversity friendly natural regeneration. Same happening all around Europe. #forests
Guy Shrubsole@guyshrubsole

Over a million acres of new tree cover could be created in England just by letting existing woods regenerate & spread, new research by @friends_earth & @RewildingB finds. But officials have artificially capped support for natural regeneration. Thread 1/n standard.co.uk/news/uk/uk-gov…

Some extracts from @ForestryComm KPI's 2021: - 95% of all recorded new planting was broadleaf trees in 2020-21, increased from 90%. - 408ha of restoration of open habitats in 2020-21, 399ha of this in the nation’s forests managed by @ForestryEngland Do those stats surprise you?
