Fantastic to celebrate and be part of this partnership with @NaturalEngland and @DorsetWildlife with @BrianBleese @TonyJuniper @MarianSpain @RobFarrington and a fantastic group of people. Solution in action to recover nature at scale, mitigate nutrients and unlock needed housing.
Today @NaturalEngland @DorsetWildlife private funders, local farmers & other partners meet at Lyscombe Farm in Dorset to mark the start of a new Nature recovery programme there. I will speak about that on @BBCr4today at 6.50. dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/n…

Not sure how the mainstream press are missing this, can’t find a single report over past month (except Le Monde), as we have hottest global sea surface temperatures EVER recorded. #ClimateCrisis

Striking rainfall run-off comparisons @Broughton_Hall pre- (Jan 21) and post- (Jan 24) large-scale tree planting in former intensive sheep grazed pastures. Virtually identical rainfall in previous 4 weeks (131 mm v 133 mm). Big increase in infiltration and above-ground storage.

Good news. DEFRA agreed to strengthen legal links between Local Nature Recovery Strategies & local plans. The change is in response to @kateparminter's proposals, supported by Kathy Willis & @WhitchurchGirl. Thanks to @RichardHRBenyon for listening. Now to get the LNRSs flying!

I’m very biased, but we have some magical stretches!! Thank-you @NaturalEngland @NE_Northumbria

We urgently need your support. A massive wildfire has ripped through RSPB Corrimony in Scotland, destroying around half of the nature reserve and devastating rare wildlife at a key time of year. rspb.org.uk/join-and-donate/…

Looking forward to going on @BBCr4today at about 8.30 to discuss @thetimes splash today saying that @NaturalEngland is blocking house building. We’re not, we are highlighting laws to protect internationally important wetlands from sewage (Times running a major campaign on that!).

A great way to celebrate: creating conservation outcomes at scale!
A ‘King’s Series’ of 25 new & expanded National Nature Reserves will be declared during the coming 5 years by @NaturalEngland to mark His Majesty’s Coronation. The first one is announced today, the Lincolnshire Coronation Coast NNR. At 55KM2, it’s big gov.uk/government/news/kings…

The formation of the Labour Climate and Environment Forum is hugely exciting news. Labour is strong on climate but (let’s be honest) not great on nature, yet. Time to get Labour MPs out into nature! theguardian.com/environment/…
