I think The Vorrh by B Catling might fit too. A relatively normal set of characters contesting with the strange and uncanny. Also the sense of looming dread & power

For a wilder future, National Parks must represent us all Chief Executive Dr Rose O’Neill reflects on what an increasingly diverse and modern nation needs from National Parks, and how we need to change to deliver it.

"National Parks are for people of every class & kind, from every part of the country" - John Dower, 1949

This vision for #NationalParks still resonates with us today & yet we still have a long way to go

We're looking for 2 Trustees to support our work 👇

Exactly this! If you’re worried about the climate, find some people to work with. Start something new or add your momentum to an existing project. Individual actions are important but collective effort is powerful, rewarding and full of hope💚

Winter flocks to Yorkshire’s countrysides | Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Take a walk around winter fields or upland fringes, anywhere with a profusion of berries, and there’s a good chance you’ll see flocks of wintering birds darting in tiny shoals between bushes and trees...

Redwings, goldcrests, maybe a waxwing or few. There are gems in them there bare trees and fields this winter.

Drained peatland in Iceland with a large drainage ditch filled with water and some sheep.

Healthy peatlands are one of our best climate heroes, storing carbon for thousands of years. Healthy peatlands are gloriously mucky. Drained peatlands might grow food for some time but are a massive source of greenhouse gas emissions. Keep bogs wet - please share!

During National Tree Week every donation you make to the YDMT Save our Small Woodlands campaign could be doubled, giving our native trees, plants and wildlife across the Yorkshire Dales the best chance to thrive.
