Our CEO @suepritch talks about our work piloting a #LandUseFramework in Devon & Cambridgeshire.

"Land use changes are going to happen... these big questions are best understood, mediated & prioritised in the communities that have to try to make them work now and in the future."

Did you know today is National Daisy Day?🌼

It’s not just one flower it’s actually over 100! Each petal is an individual flower and the yellow centre is made of hundreds of tiny flowers.

Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

@GeorgeMonbiot Use this image from now on whenever you see Big Oil agents, bots or enablers using the tired "But the ambulances..!" talking point to push for the arrest of #ClimateAction activists blocking roadways. 😠

Finally reading this by @CormacRussell with a view to it providing an insight for us here and our fellow farmers. Can we make it work in dispersed rural communities? 🤞🌿 #StrongNotWrong #FarmingWithNature #FarmingForCommunity #RuralConnectors

Bringing abundant and forgotten wild foods to the table. Can you guess what this is?

Wake up to plastic

[Dr Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

The most grim plankton compilation video I've made. This should only be a beautiful world of microlife. Instead it's a microplastic-polluted, horror movie. Beauty and the beast. @zeiss_micro

As the temperatures start to drop our amphibian and reptile friends will be seeking warmer places to hide away. 🐸 🐍

You can help by building your very own hibernaculum in your garden! "A what?!" we hear you ask? A hibernaculum is a place where an animal seeks refuge!

[Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈 @Kate_Bradbury]

Worst year ever for butterflies (no surprise). Yes to finally banning neonicotinoids but a reminder that neonics are widely available in bug sprays from garden centres and supermarkets for home use. "No exceptions" means banning them too @savebutterflies https://t.co/j5gxcksK6i

If anyone tells you that cities with huge amounts of cycling and public transport are a). impossible b). too expensive c). too complicated etc etc, well greetings to them all from a rooftop in #Utrecht. 40,000 bicycles use this junction EVERY DAY. #nowtellmeitsimpossible

This is not good

[Craig Bennett @CraigBennett3]

This is very disappointing and, at the end of the day, it's a false economy...

...because nature friendly farming boosts the economy, reduces flood risk, supports food production, and is good for the nation's health

https://t.co/63FJHQQu6f very few places left now on rare free training opportunity supporting people in rural areas. Please share

[Rob Hopkins @robintransition]

Here is a fascinating paper about the potential of depaving a large urban area (in Melbourne) to boost biodiversity, mental health, the local economy, reduce flooding and dementia and much more. Essential reading for urban planners: https://t.co/70PVmWRAKF

Always a pleasure to cater for Abundant Life project partner @CommonFlora This time at meadow mowing time!

Their land grows food, nurtures humans & nature. They have rural allotment plots available near Diptford -please get in touch directly with them if you are interested.

What’s the hexagonal structure in the photo, taken during a recent glean? It’s a bug hotel, installed on this organic farm to support insects pollinating food crops as part of @TNLComFund project Abundant Life.
