Great news but lacking in detail. I read the article but nowhere does it say exactly where these woodlands are.

And, there is so much utter rubbish out there. This is not the golden age of children's literature

Is this river alive? Robert Macfarlane on the lives, deaths and rights of our rivers As pollution levels hit record highs and fresh water becomes β€˜the new oil’, is it time to radically reimagine our relationship to the natural world?

What follows if we imagine rivers as having lives, deaths––& even rights?
I wrote this essay about water & hope; imagining rivers β€œotherwise”; nature’s rights; grammars of animacy; & how our fate flows with that of riversβ€”& always has.
It’s from Is A River Alive?

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

Start with spuds. They grow pretty much anywhere and condition the soil.

That's 95k!

We're 95% of the way to 100,000 signatures on our petition, which means we get a ban on driven grouse shooting debated in parliament.

Only 5k to go! Please share & sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I’m obsessed with coastal wildflowers: they look so delicate but thrive in tough conditions From the rock sea-spurrey, which appears to grow out of solid rock, to the slender centaury that lives on a landslip, these plants exist where they do for good reason

correct, these are the best flowers. (especially thrift!) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I scroll through Bluesky and am disappointed by the lack of coherence and spirit. Threads is still so much better IMO.

Can we get over 2500 signatures today for traditional and social media reform?

We are so close to this threshold!

Observing my lovely granddaughter, safety first went out of the window when it came to exploring, picking things up,'eating' things. I guess there is something about an embryonic personality at play here too!

Yes, it's a concern because it encourages Peter's Principle and that never ends well gor anyone.
