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? Director David Baxter discusses why it makes more sense in his latest blog: linkedin.com/pulse/enduring-…

***PUFFINS HAVE LANDED*** it’s 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.

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-r…

The technology is available, and as soon as ⁦@McDonaldsUK⁩ start printing car registration numbers on takeaway packaging, this constant tide of littering will stop. Come on guys - what a Christmas gift to the countryside (and taxpayer) that would be!

We all know that restoration is increasingly important to make our #rivers resilient to #climatechange, but what benefit can #riverrestoration have in mitigating the impacts of climate change? All other additions welcome! 1/14

Β£2.50 is enough buy us 1 square metre of Hazeland. If you'd like to give someone the gift of permanent forest why not buy them an Avon Needs Trees gift card? Perfect birthday or thank you presents for the tree lover you know. First card already sold! Www.avonneedstrees.org.uk/gi…

Great point from @AliDriverUK at Rewilding Britain. β€œWe are aiming for 5% of land to be in a process of rewildimg. Currently <1%. Will this impact food production? Let’s put things in context. 70% of UK land is farmed but 40% of food is wasted. I know what I would focus on!”

3️⃣s 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. Div 9 Champions πŸŽ‰πŸ’šπŸ’› #OnWinsleyOn #GoGreens
