It’s #nationaltreeweek so yesterday I went to Hainault Forest in Redbridge with @WoodlandTrust@ForestryComm to hear what they are doing to bring trees closer to people and protect our ancient woodland for the future.
Abi Bunker @WoodlandTrust says she "welcomes some of the words we've heard from the new gov", but we must "embed quality, biodiverse nature into our towns as just as critical to our lives and health as drainage and other parts of critical infrastructure".
Fascinating discussion on first @RestIsPolitics Poll in General Election year
Spoiler Alert: ‘most popular policy with public… 92% ! #PlantMoreTrees’ 🌳
@WoodlandTrust will deliver at least 50m+ by end of next Parliament
What does it take to create a global #TreeEquity movement?
Research, time, and incredible partnerships.
Hear from our friends at @WoodlandTrust and @SusHealthcare on the process that it took to create Tree Equity Score UK in our newest documentary: https://t.co/jvf1XmGOHE
@HawfordFarm@oxfordfarming Congratulations Geoff - look forward to seeing you there again next year. And well done to Will and the OFC Board for this year’s event.
Annual trip to Charles Kennedy’s grave. A combination of works, changed paths, locked gates and occasional drowning of boots/bagpipe box in mud made it more difficult than usual. Hope he’d appreciate that we left flowers on a gate with a flag showing EU funding still useful. RIP
Our #TreeEquity Score UK tour started with a launch event in East Belfast and then some tree planting @WoodlandTrust Glas-na-Bradan. Great to finally meet colleagues from @AmericanForests in person and others like @Treeconomics@belfastcc that we’ve worked with on this.
Come and work in @WoodlandTrust external affairs team advocating for trees and woods in the North of England! Closing date 3rd December https://t.co/EL6ekxeI6w
