Evidence for long distance trade in the Irish Neolithic. These beautiful green jadeite axes are from Donegal & Westmeath & are c 6000 years old. Studies have shown that the stone they are fashioned out of comes from a series of Neolithic quarries located high in the Italian alps

Carpets of golden gorse, ling and bell heather accompanied a lovely walk yesterday with the added bonus of a lovely white form of Calluna vulgaris too #wildflowerhour

A wander in Haxey Turbary...from marshy bogland dug for peat to birch woodland, fen sedge and fern...1880s to present! (apparently a good place to spot woodpeckers, tawny owls and grass snakes!) @IoAHC @Northlincmuseum @VisitNorthLincs

#Bison had a #population of over 60mil @ the beginning of the 19thC but were almost #extinct by the end with their numbers under 600. They are no longer an #EndangeredSpecies. What happened? Read about this, shifting baselines, and more in our #blog (see our pinned tweet).

[Rewilding Britain @RewildingB]

We're ecstatic! Wild bison are to return to the UK for the first time in 6,000 years! A small herd will be reintroduced to @KentWildlife land in 2022. This endangered species will help to naturally regenerate a former pine wood plantation 🌲
