🏔️ Researchers mapped 5,190 km of vehicle tracks across GB uplands — that's longer than the distance from London to New York. Track density is highest on wind farms & grouse moors. Current planning controls aren't working and it's time to fix that. Read more 👇 buff.ly/kLqO52C 🌎🧪

Hey it's @dochpjones.bsky.social again giving you a roundup of the great talks I saw today at #NACCR2026, the joint conference between @scbnorthamerica.bsky.social and Society for Ecological Restoration. 🧪

The last #NACCR2026 session I attended today I also gave a talk in - Conservation and restoration in emerging climates and human-influenced ecosystems. PhD student Max Scheel gave a great talk on how cattle grazing and fire interact in small prairies. 🧪

This morning I'm in a session on communiy conservation in theory and practice! Looking forward to some great talks. #NACCR2026 🧪

The plenary this morning is about the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin discussing all things education, science, and water! One speaker told us about benthic net, a portal of water invertebrate samples collected throughout WI waterways benthicnet.org 🧪 #NACCR2026

Hey all! It's @dochpjones.bsky.social taking over the ESE feed today to live post some talks at the first day of #NACCR2026! Our journal is a @britishecologicalsociety.org open access journal and we publish applied science by/for academics and managers. Check us out! Stay tuned for some fun talks!
