YQ Wheat flour from @RSPBHopeFarm with no inorganic fertiliser or post-drilling pesticides is being sold by @Hodmedods. It would be great to see nature-friendly wheat sold out https://t.co/a1Sp13VzGq

I strongly suspect that this is the last time I'll be on the once healthy app. Bit like a good pub that changes hands, you give a while to see how it goes, but eventually accept its not where you want to be any longer and move on.

@MilesKing10 You thinking of disembarking this sorry app? I'm trying to decide where to head to

[Nigel Symes @NigelSymes]

@JMBecologist Master of the understatement. I had wondered why the UK has so many conservation organisations.

It is through urban #greenspaces and #greeninfrastructure that human populations benefit from and connect with nature in cities.🏙🌿Visintin et al share that #architecturaldesign and #conservationscience need to be combined to enhance nature in cities. https://t.co/qwypvAVn3O

Very valuable session on the role of spontaneous vs assisted vegetation colonisation of quarries and mining sites. Informative for future nature restoration. Need to convince permitting authorities!
Too few studies from the UK given scale of minerals extraction

Peatland restoration in Estonia; engineering solutions don't work. Soft solutions utilising the peat to block drains. Same learning, different places.

A couple of our volunteers enjoyed showing #LytchettBayView LNR off to Britain in Bloom judges yesterday. They talked about our different partners working together to protect this landscape, record its significant nature diversity & make it accessible to local people and visitors

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Easy enough to judge it's size when it is alive, in the water and doing it's thing.

@ecoevoenviro @Telegraph Meanwhile 2.1% of UK arable land was in 2020 already used for biofuels, and that figure is growing rapidly.

@JMBecologist Spent almost my entire, now lengthy career fighting that rhetoric with I feel increasing success. Business communities increasingly signing up to restore nature across landscapes
