Today is #NationalMeadowsDay! 🥳 The loss of our uplifting hay meadow habitats in the UK makes my heart hurt, so I want to share with you the secret for turning your lawn into a mini wildflower meadow for *free* 👊 🧵 (1/9)

My first time ever seeing rare beech fern (Phegopteris connectilis), here in Glenveagh NP, Donegal. Many thanks to Head Gardener Seán O Gaoithin for pointing it out.

Scorching hot again in Southern Europe with temperatures locally into the high 40s Celsius. A collection of all-time records have fallen...

Walking around it always strikes me that the best way to start a real recovery of native woodlands is to allow the pockets which remain to expand naturally. Presently these are often actively suppressed whilst we pay for woodland creation elsewhere I made a short video about it

For those who are keeping track, we are now at 13 consecutive days with record global (60S-60N) temperatures, since satellite era measurements began in 1979, likely the 13 hottest days on a global scale over the last 100,000 years. And now temperatures are going back up again.

"It could scarcely be more screwed up. The effort to protect Earth systems and the human systems that depend on them is led by people working at the margins with tiny resources, while the richest most powerful use every means at their disposal to stop them." A *crucial* read.
Unless we focus on the existential issues we face, we are completely kippered. But the plutocratic grip on media and politics ensures we focus on anything but. This week's column. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Outside of fungi season, it's easy to forget about the network of filaments under your feet when walking in a forest. But it's there, some breaking down deadwood, others working away in symbiosis with the trees, providing pathways for the exchange of information and nutrients.
