@ChidswellGroup @CommunityPlann1 @ChrisGPackham @CarlBovisNature Amazing. Well done on all the hardwork that your group put in to protect this special wildlife habitat. 😀

[SaveOurSpen 🍃💚🍃 @SaveOurSpen]

@ChidswellGroup @CommunityPlann1 @ChrisGPackham @CarlBovisNature Many many congratulations! Such a long hard fight. Massive credit to you all. Local people @KirkleesCouncil should not be underestimated! So pleased for you!

We did it! Planning Permission quashed. A victory to inspire all local campaign groups fighting to protect wildlife habitat. A reckless approach to planning policy has resulted in Permission being overturned @CommunityPlann1

@SallyN69461571 @churchofengland @ChidswellGroup @WoodlandTrust @YorksWildlife @IanThewildside @cprewestyorks @churchofengland how much more nature will you destroy. Leave these trees alone.

CoE put in new App. to Kirklees Council to fell trees in 2 Ancient Woodlands with no reference to 'Chidswell' & 'Heybeck'. In the interest of public safety and nothing to do with £millions profit from larger development. Perhaps they thought we wouldn't notice? We did! @alextomo

[STAUNCH @STAUNCHcampaign]

It’s incredible: 238 individual trees, 50 groups of trees, 3 woodlands, 79 hedgerows & all buildings that the 4 developers have surveyed in Titchmarsh they can categorically say that NOT a single 🦇 roost in any of them - EVER. 10+ species, 1000s passes NO roosts! @wildlifebcn

A #HappyMothersDay from beautiful Rose Hill. Let’s remember #MotherNature this #mothersday2024 & all those fighting to protect her. She’s under threat from planners & developers like never before despite the #ClimateCrisis

Time to swing into action with this year's wildlife survey at Chidswell & Heybeck. Today we took a stroll to see what was about: kingfisher flew right past us, heron overhead and a small starling murmuration! Good omens for more sightings this yr! @YorksWildlife @Natures_Voice

@greenbeltsal @Heather95238955 @gideonthediver @cllrlisaholmes @AMarlowLDR @TEarnshawjourno @ArroJoanne It’s truly horrendous. Shame on @East_Riding for allowing such environmental damage & causing misery & pollution to all those the Council is supposed to serve. So much for striving to improve quality of life and community well-being. This does the total opposite.

It was a truly amazing win you achieved. A real David and Goliath story.

When is the film adaptation coming out? And who's playing who!

@clrandrewcooper Now there’s a thought 😂😂.

How many early emerging #bees have now lost another source of food @KirkleesCouncil? 🤔🐝 Looking at the pictures, I’d say these trees are in the region of 25-30 years old and unfortunately, trees don’t get to decide where they’re planted. So this is either bad planning on your part, or ignorance. IMO these buildings now look awful, so you’ve clearly got bad taste and a lack of empathy for these beautiful and sentient beings, which also happen to be the lungs of your city… What a backward approach to tree management and the #ClimateEmergency. You should be ashamed.

@greenbeltsal @beckyfawcett @AmazonUK @Wykeland @East_Riding Listen to all the bird song too!

[Joanne Arro 🍃💚🍃 #NatureInMyBackyard @ArroJoanne]

@greenbeltsal @beckyfawcett @AmazonUK So sad to think it looked like this before @AmazonUK @Wykeland @East_Riding started destroying it 😢

Well @KirkleesCouncil Why have you done this? We cannot afford to lose trees. #ClimateAction

[Julia Roebuck @upcyclefashion]

How is it possible that @KirkleesCouncil (who have declared a #ClimateEmergency) prioritise the ££££ for the cutting down of mature blossom trees on #Huddersfield ring road for aesthetic purposes?! They were cut down yesterday.
