Permanent land-use change is one-way to reduce the extra nutrients that arise from new housing but what about enduring, renewable land-use change as a more flexible solution?

***PUFFINS HAVE LANDED*** itβs happened, Puffins have landed this morning on their breeding colonies on Isle of May for first time this year, having been away at sea since last August. Great news!
Great @EcosystemsNet seminar on woodland creation #AWC20 today. 2 big issues @EnTradeUK can help with :
1. Attracting more landowners to provide land via simple, online market that can aggregate smalll parcels of land.
2.Measuring wider credits that can be sold to wider buyers.
Thanks to Wessex Water for donating more than Β£1,200 towards a new bottle filling station at Beechen Cliff. It will be well used and much appreciated.

A heads-up for a public lecture I'm giving in #Bath on 11th Feb on #rewilding - covering the latest developments in rewilding in England, where it could fit in with the future ELM Scheme, plus latest thinking and action on species reintroductions etc. eventbrite.co.uk/e/born-to-rβ¦

Great point from @AliDriverUK
at Rewilding Britain.
βWe are aiming for 5% of land to be in a process of rewildimg. Currently <1%. Will this impact food production? Letβs put things in context. 70% of UK land is farmed but 40% of food is wasted. I know what I would focus on!β
3οΈβ£s needed a 19 point swing in a title decider at Devizes and got it!
Fraser McRae 40, Jeffrey 25 & Hill 22no meant 170-8.
Two for Nige Simpson and @JordanWickens2, combined with 5-6 for Scott Sandford and 72ao was just enough.
