Plans to weaken protections for national parks will have ‘disastrous consequences’ say green groups
Exclusive: Letter from 170-plus organisations calls on government to drop proposed changes to planning law
Just extraordinary to witness this nature-hating government sabotaging Labour’s own legacy. And for absolutely no reason: nature protection isn’t blocking development - it’s a necessary prerequisite for it (& for everything else, come to that…)

Fabulous to see the launch of the APPG on Play @appgonplay.bsky.social - very hopeful that play will start be taken as seriously as it demands, with the hope of a new national play strategy and play sufficiency legislation.

The Primary Geography Interview: Dr Meryl Batchelder
With a background in geochemistry, when I became a teacher, I had to pick Science or Geography. I chose science but, by focusing on environment & sustainability, the boundaries blurred. What an honour to be interviewed by Tessa Willy for @geographicalassoc.bsky.social's Primary Geography magazine 😊

BBC Radio 4 - Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane, Episode 1: Anima
Robert Macfarlane explores an idea that changes the world – that a river is alive.
Hello—Is A River Alive? has been adapted as Radio 4’s Book of the Week next week.
Five episodes, read by me—& we’ve folded in field recordings & some beautiful Max Richter music.
First episode, Anima, broadcasts tomorrow at 11.45am.

Hello—Is A River Alive? is out a week today, on 1 May.
I went to Clays the printer to see how my books are made (many marvellous machines!) & to sign 3000 special editions.
Here’s what happened in 40 seconds.
Here are the indie bookshops who have the specials for pre-order: linktr.ee/Is_A_River_A...

Nature boys and girls – here’s your chance to get published in the Guardian
Our wildlife series Young Country Diary is looking for articles written by children, about their spring encounters with nature
This is a wonderful opportunity to get young people aged 8 to 14 writing about their encounters with, or in, nature. We can learn so much about how children feel about our natural world when we give them a chance to tell us 🌿

A residential street in Utrecht. The road is filtered to motor traffic using two bollards. There are tress and greenery and a sign in the top right indicating that this is a "play street"
A little greenery, a few bollards, and a simple sign - suddenly, the street belongs to people again. Safe streets for kids don’t need big budgets, just the right priorities #PlayStreet

Rachel Reeves holds newts in contempt, it seems.
So I thought I'd post this glorious painting of a "lion of the duckweed" by Jackie Morris + my paean to these "kings of the pond", both from The Lost Words.
