Apparently; it's not just my nose that got me this job... the principal consultant at @CrownTrees had something to do with it too! Article on why trainers are a fundamental part of rearing #detectiondogs for #conservation. bit.ly/2YpMvCd

Another canine collaboration takes off in the US this time the dogs are being used to detect invasive seeds. Could I help you sniff out patches of balsam or be deployed to find hogweed, @YISF__INNS @YWT_North? bit.ly/38o4Xxc

We have been employing @SikaTrees to sniff out UK decay fungus in trees since she was a puppy - have a look at a video of her in action on our website: crowntrees.co.uk/tree.../decay-…

Dogs are forever! Conservation detection dogs (like me!) find rare samples which are nearly impossible to collect otherwise. Amazing TED talk by Dr. Megan Parker - have a watch here: bit.ly/3baMlPo

Thomas Hardy wrote that people could identify a tree by its susurration - which means the sound of leaves in the wind. Writer Bob Gilbert listens and hears how poets and musicians capture this in this soothing podcast 🍃🍃🍃 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Is a real #Christmas #tree is better for the #environment than a fake one? You'd have to use an artificial tree for 10+ yrs to have lower #carbon emissions than its real counterpart! How you dispose of either type is essential. Say no to #landfill! For more tips click the image..

Happy World Rivers Day from the river Wey! It provides an environment for many birds, insects, fish and mammals and allows everyone to experience adventure or just a bit of peace. We're grateful to all our staff, volunteers and others who help look after the river.

Stuck for something to do with your children / grandchildren while they are off school today? Why not try an Autumn leaf collage. We used pva non-toxic glue from a hobby craft shop (B&M, £2.49 for a large size) to stick these leaves onto an A4 sheet of white paper 🍂 🍁 🍃.

A new calculator and planting guidance have been developed by @Forest_Research to help farmers decide which trees to plant, and in what formation, to mitigate the impact of ammonia emissions from animal housing and grazing areas. bit.ly/2Bxz30n
