Worse - it is not just 10,000 trees, it is the complete destruction of a formally designated woodland site of biological importance - & Trafford acknowledges there are alternatives! See our response to planning committee here https://t.co/ncl03YPL8W
Trafford is 'minded to approve' a plan to completely fell a woodland SBI (over 10,000 trees) contrary to the national,regional,local development plans, their biodiversity duty, their duty of care to residents - our response to planning committee here

What the article does not say is that this is not just 10,000 trees, it is the complete destruction of a formally designated woodland site of biological importance! So many issues outlined in our report to planning committee here https://t.co/ncl03YPL8W

A gardeners best friend, the hedgehog 🦔, is plummeting in numbers and possible extinction 💔 Please help our prickly friends by creating hedgehog highways and wood piles, planting pollinator friendly plants, stop using slug pellets and strimmers. https://t.co/BWpZN6wUlZ
HUGE NEWS! This morning, the owners of Newcastle Waters instructed management to immediately cease plans for the culling of 20,000 native corellas & galahs. When thousands of Australians speak up for our iconic nature, the world listens. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
My first ever Cockatiel photo was taken at this cattle station. I was beyond EXCITED! - Now imagine they want to kill them because they harm their ‘profit’! 😡

What do you think about this?
British-owned beef giant CPC has been granted a permit to poison and kill 20,000 native galahs and little corellas at one of their vast cattle stations in the NT, Australia.
In its permit application, CPC admits its practices created the problem: “grain production, on-site storage, and cattle feeding have provided an artificial food source.”
Ornithologist Dr Lilleyman was "shocked" to learn of the NT government's decision to grant the permit.
She said that Birdlife Australia is concerned about the potential for secondary poisoning of non-target species occurring close to "an internationally significant wetland".
CPC has ten cattle stations on about 9 million acres. They supply cattle and beef to Asian markets, domestic feedlots and processors, and export live cattle.
The company is owned by Guy and Julia Hands through the Hands Family Office. They live in Guernsey after leaving England to avoid UK tax.
CPC has also applied for massive water licenses for irrigation projects to grow grain sorghum and other crops which will inevitably attract even more birds.
So what happens then? Even wider-scale poisoning of native wildlife?
As it's Friday, I'm asking all my followers to please retweet (and comment) on this post if you see it, to help my bird account be seen! 🙏😀
To make it worth sharing, here's a tiny Goldcrest saying 'Hi' 😁😍
Thank you very much! ♥️
Please Be Kind To Moles.
They are beneficial to soil health, acting as natural aerators and pest control by consuming lawn-damaging grubs, beetles, and larvae.
They do not eat plants, and their removal often leads to new moles occupying the vacant tunnel system, making it a futile effort.
Apart from that, it is CRUEL!
I have seen this lie told so many times even by govt ministers. To be clear the £104 billion investment is not being provided by water company shareholders it's being funded by you, from your bank account not theirs.
@DanicaPriest@OurSacredGrove These tiny bats have gone from being one of the commonest UK species to one of the rarest, and all because deciduous woodland areas were decimated. It was a fatal error not to appreciate how these bats maintain the ecological balance within their habitat.
This is a terrible story @SamCoatesSky Labour have declared a war on nature to appease property developer donors. Local councils have the right to defend their nature sites for example this designated SNCI that @KeepmoatHomes and @HomesEngland want to destroy. Report on that!
