I know that self seeded woodland is better. But there's me in 1988 and the same spot in 2023 after my mum planted all the trees in 1994. Birds, bat's, ferns, mosses etc just appeared and its infinitely better than a field. And it's inspiring too 😊💚💚

In 2017, I started studying THAMES WATER because I was looking for a British version of VW's "DIESELGATE" and suspected that the discharge of billions of litres of raw SEWAGE into our rivers was a symptom of financial distress and perhaps fraud. Little did I know...

Here's an article to warm you up on a cold day - Burn Marks, looking at tear-shaped scorches on the walls of historic buildings. Once thought to be accidental candle burns but now widely interpreted as apotropaic... and with a curious seasonal link. …iskeleheritage.triskelepublishing.com/mediaeval-myth…

It's #NationalTreeWeek ! And I'm here to convince you that we should be establishing more trees in hedgerows (🧵of course..) First off - why?

Great example of veteran tree management at Leeds Castle in Kent. The commentary provides the insights. @leedscastleuk, @AncientTreesATF, @ArbAssociation

Thérèse Coffey just told a lunch for the British Association of Shooting and Conservation “I’m frankly fed up with the right to roam campaign. The only things that have rights to roam are farmers, their pigs and cattle.”

📢There's a brand new record for Britain's highest altitude tree! We found it at 1221m on Ben Nevis, & incredibly it's a #Willow (Grey Willow; Salix cinerea). This tenacious little plant has surpassed Sitka Spruce at 1210m. #HighMountainTrees @BSBIbotany @JimMcIn37952395

I surveyed the Flodden Tree in the Scottish Borders this morning for the @woodlandtrust Heritage Trees revisited project. A massive old sycamore with a girth of 6.9m. #livinglegends #thicktrunktuesday

What might Scotland’s hills look like with more montane woodland? A walk up the Allt Carn a’ Mhaim, which you’d be forgiven for thinking wasn’t the most exciting place for montane woodland establishment, might have some answers… (TL;DR - it's complicated but cool!) (1/10)

I wondered why my mushrooms were disappearing so quickly so set the camera up… If you’ve never seen a squirrel devour a large mushroom in one sitting - this video is for you! @ChrisGPackham @AndyCountryside @idverde_Bromley @debandychas2004 @ForestryEngland @GreenercleanerB…

The ecological impact of wolf reintroduction to Britain. A wolf ecologist’s view🧵. Wolf reintroduction to Britain is again a hot topic in the media. So I want to share what we know about the wolf’s ecological impacts in a model European system, Białowieża Primeval Forest.

@euroak @lwhemmings @MerlinTomkins A large part of why we don't have lots of either coppice or high forest chestnut was commercial conifer production, never known any removed from ancient woodland because it was not native, and it could be planted as a broadleaf my memory of 1980s was policy change from conifer to

Last week I was in Glen Affric for a filming project & we visited the site of Trees for Life's first fencing project, which protected an estimated 100,000 Scots pine seedlings from browsing by red deer in 1990. These photos show the same scene in September 1989 & last week.

How high can trees grow up mountains? And how did we break the altitudinal records for 11 tree species in Britain during 21/2022? Find out in my new paper published #OpenAccess in #BritishandIrishBotany @BSBIbotany using #citizenscience. britishandirishbotany.org/index.php/bib/… #HighMoutainTrees

Day 30 - Sherborne to South Cadbury, 13.2 miles. Heading north & slightly west out of Sherborne I am on a pilgrimage to two ancient oaks at Hazelgrove preparatory school. I have phoned ahead to check I can see them otherwise I could continue east. I am so glad I did.
