Ploughing in the floodplain of the River Exe. No wonder this beautiful oak didn’t survive. No wonder biodiversity is in crisis. Did this farmer apply for permission at @NaturalEngland #EIAregulations

As most of the media bangs on about Farage and Reform, the Green Party have won as many seats – all 4 of the seats they targeted. Two were big river seats – people on the River Waveney and River Wye want clean rivers! theguardian.com/politics/art…

Green party quadruples its number of Commons seats to four

Co-leaders Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay each win seat as SiΓ’n Berry holds Brighton Pavilion

At our recent workshop, "What next for East Exeter" we started by marking up a map with routes we found good (green), bad (red) or almost impossible (black). Junctions that caused concern are in red. Mini 🧡 #cycling #activetravel #DisabilityRights #Exeter

After a couple of weeks in which it seems that all the butterflies had disappeared, today it looks like there’s been an emergence of Red Admiral @NTKillerton in the hedges. Also Marbled White doing well where grazing has been relaxed in the parkland and flowery fringes @BCDevon

Fantastic energy at the #RestoreNatureNow march in London! Tens of thousands gathered to demand urgent action: a shift to nature-friendly farming; making polluters pay for their damage; fast, fair & effective climate action & a new right in law to a healthy environment πŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹

Today is #ShowYourStripes, when we encourage people to start conversations about climate change using simple 'warming stripes' data visualisations. The world is warming mainly because of burning fossil fuels. The consequences are becoming more visible. It's time to take action.
