A carefully propped living oak tree lies at 45 degrees, its roots protected by low railings. View over London in background and a small crowd of people.

Black face of female hairy-legged flower bee covered in bright yellow pollen.

Female hairy-footed flower bees emerging to gather pollen to fill their nesting holes in old lime-mortar brickwork. Just look at that face 😍 #pollinators #springtime

Cerulean blue sky with light, fluffy cloud setting off vobrant yellow mimosa flowers.

Wonderful to have some blue skies today to set off this fragrant mimosa spilling over the fence into Pete's orchard, North Walworth.

5 green ring-necked parakeets perched in a fig tree in winter against grey skies.

Exotic London! Five bright green ring-necked parakeets in a fig tree in # Bermondsey, Central London. Occasional visitors before, but the flock grows daily. Who else has noticed they are on the increase here? Very loud, very greedy and totally fearless!

View of the river Thames showing the Shard, Tower Bridge and the City of London against a beautiful sky of fluffy clouds.

You can never get tired of the view over the river from the Thames Path at King's Stairs Gardens.

The trunk of a large oak tree

When windy place an ear to the bark of a tree, & with a hand stop all noise entering the other ear

You can now concentrate on listening THROUGH the tree to the low rumble of the trunk & branches working with the wind

You can also feel the movement of the branches as they react

Thank you for the support! πŸ™ We hope our case shines a light on a bigger problem nationwide in subsidence claims by insurers, and helps to draw the line for what communities expect from corporations like Aviva and from local authorities; a fair process with decisions founded on quality evidence

We discovered microbes in bark β€˜eat’ climate gases. This will change the way we think about trees We already knew forests were heavy lifters in reducing climate pollution. New research reveals the tiny microbes in tree bark can also β€œeat” climate gases.
