A Conservation Area provides less protection for the INTERNATIONALLY IMPORTANT #MotherBramleyAppleTree.
A TPO WILL strengthen its protection. @NSDCouncil do it now!
The world famous tree has massive AMENITY VALUE, biodiversity and heritage value. @itn_news

The badger staggered his way around the London Marathon (slowly, 5:14) but what a wonderful experience – the positivity and kindness of the crowds was amazing! Pure joy; a privilege to take part. Thank you everyone for your support for Norfolk Wildlife Trust and the badger!

So sorry 2 hear sad news of Andy Kershaw's passing.
Andy was a multi-talented journalist/presenter/DJ
He also had a GSOH. Andy reported on the @SaveSheffTrees campaign in 2017 when we'd organised a community street tree art day to honour the local fallen soldiers of the Great War

So lovely to see a little girl with her mum earlier taking time to read everyone's messages around Chester's trunk. And hear her saying "Bye Chester!" after spending a little time under this often overlooked tree.🥰
Children know what's important.🌳❤ #SaveChester #NoticeThisTree

It was an absolute privilege for me to meet you, finally, James. And, WHAT A SPEECH you made, I'm still choked by it. Love to meet up again sometime for a #treehunt around the region maybe, all the best, Rob
Sincere thanks to the people who took time to say hello today in Sheffield. It was a massive pleasure to spend time with you all today. I meant every word I said, and every word I said is here in full 👇🏻

Cut blackthorn hedges less often = boost brown hairstreak butterflies. Really simple, cost-free (or even money-saving) measures can massively benefit wildlife: theguardian.com/environment/…
