At a time when the country is debating farming, food security, nature recovery, and access to nature, there’s never been a greater need to demonstrate what works in practice.

That’s why @earth_trust is doubling down on our role as a real working landscape—where farming, nature, heritage, and people come together. 🌿🌾✨

We need political parties to prioritise nature & reverse the decline of ecosystems (which underpin all life) #RestoreNatureNow #Election2024

[Ian Barrett @IanBarrettSW]

#itvdebate what are the parties doing to address the nature crisis? Nature underpins the whole of life on earth, we're losing species at record rates and risk ecosystem collapse - but the parties are hardly mentioning it

[Avon Wildlife Trust @avonwt]

Today, we’re launching our Green Match Fund campaign to restore woodland homes for wildlife.

@BristolTreeFora @CllrEllieking @DanicaPriest @avonwt The scrub habitat at Yew Tree Farm is what makes it so special for such a wide range of wildlife. It would be a tragedy and a travesty and completely ecologically illiterate to remove it in the name of achieving the fixed conditions the site was in when it was designated

This is why we need legislation to stop peat extraction for horticulture. #peatfree

[Ian Barrett @IanBarrettSW]

@stillawake @Catherinewith11 @DanicaPriest Wow - just wow. Have a look at the fantastic work the Partnership are doing before you throw shade on them. Very easy to be a critic.

[Aggie Thompson @aggie_thompson]

Incredible bird survey at our #rewilding sites yesterday! Goshawk, woodcock & merlin all new records at #WilderLittleDuxmore & SE owl at #WilderNunwell. Great to see new species using the sites, nature is returning! Snaps of other species seen & an Exmoor pony of course!

[Ian Barrett @IanBarrettSW]

Restoring missing wildlife such as wlidebeest, wolves, beavers, bison, whales and marine fish to their former abundance is one if the most powerful and important things we can do to reverse dangerous climate change #wilding
