Longer spring days mean the arrival of both lambs 🐑 in the landscape and ground-nesting birds 🐣 seeking a summer home, often unseen! So when you're out in the #PeakDistrict... 🐶 Keep dogs on a short lead 🥾 Keep to the signposted paths 🚯 Take home what you bring

And to establish links between existing woodland and tree cover through providing “stepping stones” to allow species such as Willow Tit to increase their range, and to provide extra cover and food for a range of species, such as Redwing, Fieldfare and Ring Ouzel. (3/3)

Trees have been planted for a number of reasons: replacing iconic veteran trees to ensure we have Hawthorns and Rowans for the next generation of people and wildlife to enjoy…

Our Wednesday volunteer walling team are out every week, come rain or shine, repairing and rebuilding drystone walls on the Eastern & Burbage Moors. They have recently been doing a cracking job of rebuilding a section near Froggatt Edge 👍

We’ve had a fantastic (and freezing) day planting sphagnum moss on Burbage Moor today with our Thursday volunteers and @NaturalEngland’s uplands team. Through cutting and rewetting, we are restoring the ecology of this special place with help from @moorsforfuture

Great to have the Rural Crime Team from Derbyshire Police with us this afternoon - lots of knowledge sharing and discussions around joint working in 2025.

We are advising avoiding Burbage South quarry while we assess the rock in the quarry. Access rights are unaffected. @Team_BMC @peakdistrict @PeakDistrictNT @RSPBEngland @UKClimbing

We are still tackling the fire on #BurbageMoor with the emergency services and ranger teams. #LadyCannings is under control for now, although we ask that you avoid the entire area to keep safe and allow easy access for attending crews. #EasternMoors #Ringinglow #wildfire

This year we are beginning colour ringing Ring Ouzel chicks to help understand population changes on the Peak District's Eastern Edges. Over recent years productivity has generally been good but numbers of pairs returning to breed has varied. (1/7)

Thank you to everyone who has helped us to plant over 12,000 trees on the Eastern & Burbage Moors over the course of the last Winter. (A thread - 1/5)

(4/5) We've also been planting without guards, using thorny scrub (Hawthorn and Blackthorn) to act as a natural tree guard, outside of bracken dominated areas. Tree species include Sessile Oak, Rowan, Silver and Downy Birch, and Willow and Alder in wetter areas.

(5/5) This "bundle planting" approach consists of a mixture of thorny species and trees (mainly Rowan, Oak and Birch) to increase their resilience to deer browsing, and reduce the need for guards and fencing, where conditions are suitable.

This time next Sunday we’ll be planting as many trees as possible before heading to the premier of @TheFellingFilm Let’s see what % of the 5,500 trees chopped down we can replace (Although a new tree cannot replace a mature street tree!) Join us 9-12 🕘 contact me for details 💚

Don't forget to check the RAD before heading out to the crag so you don't disturb any temporary winged visitors like these Ring Ouzels at Stanage 🦅thebmc.co.uk/modules/RAD/

A male Ring Ouzel at Stanage watching over 1st brood fledglings while the female builds nest two above. Nice to see them back at a traditional site which has not been used since (I think) 2017 - except they've picked sunny half-term week to move to the busiest part of the crag!
