Every time I see a before/after picture like this, I think even the “before” is better than what we have for most school streets in Seattle.

🦇It was #InternationalDayOfForests on Saturday and to celebrate our wonderful woodlands we want to highlight the work we are doing in Wales on the Wales Woodland Wonders project: www.bats.org.uk/our-work/in-... .

We're wrapping up the Winter planting season. Thank you to all the volunteers who took part! The song is the still unreleased ‘watermelon skies’ by BIN RICH, fellow tree musketeers & creatures of the concrete forest! Made from the samples of our very own Hackney parakeets & morning marsh afterglows.

Rewilding relies on collaboration, so how do we make this happen? #WorldRewildingDay

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Rightwing narrative fuelling false belief UK public oppose net zero, study finds

Reform, Tory and some media rhetoric runs contrary to poll showing far more voters for net zero than against it
