Kate Tobin

Nature Recovery Policy Advisor for the Forestry Commission. All things woodland, with a sprinkling of history, art and the universe.

[Forestry Commission @ForestryComm]

We welcome the launch of Local Nature Recovery Strategies and what this means for woodlands and the benefits they bring 👏

We'll be supporting local authorities to consider opportunities for woodland creation, restoration and improvement, when developing their strategy.

[Luke Hemmings 🌻🇺🇦 @lwhemmings]

Details now available for the England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO!), following the launch of the #EnglandTreeActionPlan
Payments will treble in some cases, with stackable options for water, access, clean air and other public benefits. See https://t.co/32QY0K8WSS for full info.

Today the first time met @ForestryComm climate change resilience team I work with in the real world not teams. A bit emotional when they presented me with a present to mark 40 years a FC manager. Introducing left to right beyond me, Rob Coventry, Chris Sorenson, Emily Fensom.

@Drewlj Beautiful, biting words. 13 years of space between one thumping tail and my new one - I hope that space is shorter for you. Each one is irreplaceable.

[Grown in Britain @GrowninBritain]

Leading the way in their commitment to plant health and biosecurity are the custodians of the nation’s forests: @ForestryEngland who are delighted to have been awarded their “Plant Healthy” certification by Grown in Britain. #GIBWeek2020 #beplanthealthy #GiB

Moving 11 million tonnes of timber from Britain’s forests over our rural roads is not a piece of cake, but maybe it is your cup of tea.

[Lawrence Shaw @lawrence_shaw]

After a crazy month, today saw me hand in my notice at the National Park. An amazing eight years has seen me do more than I could ever have imagined and it will be hard to say goodbye. But, it’s onwards and upwards to become Lead Historic Environment Advisor for @ForestryEngland

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

Help us stop #IllegalDeforestation.

We must take action to protect forests around the world and combat #ClimateChange.

Should it be illegal for UK businesses to use products that come from unlawful deforestation?

5 additions to the planned @RewildingB Rewilding Network today after site visits to a cluster of farms where #rewilding is underway or possible across 2000 acres in NE #Somerset and two new approaches from people seeking advice on rewilding at scale in North #Wales and #Dorset

[National Landscapes Association @NatLandAssoc]

We're recruiting! An exciting opportunity to join a lovely team and make a genuine difference for people and nature at a critical moment. Could you be our new National Landscapes Recovery Coordinator?

@LilAnn_50 @michaelehughes I totally agree. I studied "A la recherche" at Uni over 30 years ago and devoured stacks of articles in journals detailing his use of particular words, imagery, sensation. Loved it.

[Luke Hemmings 🌻🇺🇦 @lwhemmings]

Amazing how a bit of context can change a story. Here is the same #WoodlandCreation scheme that was causing some concern last weekend: come on #TreeTwitter, let's get this RT'ed and spread the word for well planned, designed and delivered forests. ✌️🌳🌲

Snake bark beech (Fagus sylvatica). Sometimes you get them, had to do a double take, thought it was a Hornbeam.

"A 500 year old oak ... is a whole ecosystem of such creatures for which 10,000 oaks that are only 200 years old are no use at all" Oliver Rackham. If a 6.5m maiden girth oak is likely to be 500 years old, Aljos Farjon's chart means only 1,734 that size or more in England. Rare.

Yesterday morning I had a rare opportunity to dust off my drone. This is Knowlton Church the ruins of a 12th century Norman church surrounded by a Neolithic henge earthwork.

@DrSueOosthuizen Fascinated by this -worked with Dartmoor farmers with Commons/in-bye integral to so many decisions, businesses, relationships, pride. Then home to lowland Devon and realised could see signs of lost commoning culture all around me-names, landscape, vegetation. 1 day will write up!

[Forestry England @ForestryEngland]

Happy #WorldRangerDay 👨‍🌾 We traveled down to #Bellever Forest to chat with our Community Ranger Tim about his day-to-day working life... and to see the ponies of course.🐴
