Not much flow today in the Ash brook in Church Stretton, Shropshire. Unfortunately the effects of drought are taking hold & smaller tributaries like this are drying up. Hope it receives some rainfall soon! 🤞🏻 We can all do our bit by saving water whenever & wherever we can! 💧

Our #NNR team at Woodwalton Fen don’t hang about! A busy day of #reedbed management work, creating space that will become open flooded pools over winter - ideal feeding areas for our wintering birds #fastwork #ThursdayMotivation

@Newman11Thomas explaining the #climate importance of agriculturally used, 'wasted' #peat soils in the UK - 1,922 km2 (67%) of the UK lowland fen peatlands. #Carbon loss deserves more attention. @SueSep5 @jkaduk @CEHScienceNews @IUCNpeat #wetscapesconference #peatlandsmatter

Was great to visit the Heiligensee and Hütelmoor Nature reserve as part of the #wetscapesconference ! Very interesting to see the possitive impact re-wetting is having on the ecosystem first hand!

[Tom Newman @Newman11Thomas]

Excited for day one of the #wetscapesconference !

Summer means lots of weeding at the field sites - blessed to have lovely weather to do it in!

Chris Evans of @CEHScienceNews and the ONS on the benefits of peatland restoration/rewetting: it's easy to ignore UK lowland agricultural peats, but they are important https://t.co/C81UhqgJQT

Still cant believe that I won Course Rep of the Year Science and Engineering. Been great to work with the other GGE PGR Reps (@volcanicyannick @EllenLauraB Gregor Hahn), students/staff over the last year. Would encourage anyone thinking of being a Rep next year to JUST DO IT!

[Tom Newman @Newman11Thomas]

Very grateful to receive this award. a great win for the PGR community! 😀

Was also interesting to see this big oak ploughed up at the deeper agricultural peat site.
