Forestry management and development, and enjoying being outdoors.

@Northpowergrid Can you give an anticipated timeframe for DL11 7 postcode please? Are we talking Sunday or Monday?

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

@WildLakeland @joshual951 Certainly is, as you’ll find in your detailed assessment of the Environmental Statement that I’m sure you’ll be undertaking to ensure you’re fully informed of the facts.

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

@WildLakeland @joshual951 I’m delighted that you’ve acknowledged our success in such a short time of restoring the habitats from the degraded state they were in. The plan for delivering that was in the Environmental Statement I’m sure you’ve taken the time to digest.

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

@joshual951 @lastronge @JoP24048538 I look forward to you actually having read the ecological data that was taken, including by Natural England, and seeing that no priority habitat at Doddington was destroyed by the project. In fact it’s been expanded.

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

@lastronge @JoP24048538 @joshual951 You’re confusing Berrier End, which was a disgrace and shame on those responsible, with Doddington, which completed extensive EIA process and scrutiny by Natural England.

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

@joshual951 We preferred to use expert independent ecologists including Natural England’s team than a “genius”. Look forward to you being informed of what the site actually was & how the diverse mosaic of habitats was decided upon & is now progressing. Feel free to actually visit in person.

The most recent issues being quite a surreal change in the dynamic of power!

@PaulBrannenNE @Elizabe08848147 @annietrev The fantastic range of tree establishment, habitat recovery, biodiversity improvements and expanded public use of the area to continue developing and transforming the property.

Come work with us! I am looking for a new postdoc (3yrs) to work on terrestrial lidar and carbon in temperate forests.
Based in beautiful Ghent, great fieldwork locations & collaboration with our partners of Climate Solutions Exchange and UOxford.

@lwhemmings @alicebloggltd Yes.

@benjaminjmiller You’re not kidding, Mike’s been on site two days and Ian’s already put engineering mods on two of his pieces of kit to improve productivity!!

First tree of the season in the ground, and not a bad end of day view to make progress on beat up survey.

[Paul Brannen 🇺🇦 @PaulBrannenNE]

Surprising: according to Friends of the Earth, some major national parks even have lower woodland cover than major cities, for example, woodland cover in the Yorkshire Dales is just 4.1% compared to London at 4.5%. https://t.co/mgxcxPI4vQ @NEE_CCo @NENaturePShip @IanDuncanHMG

@SScienta Whereabouts do you operate and how can I contact you?

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

@adamvaughan_uk Bigger concern is concept that a prescribed process is in some way ‘protecting’ it! We have an incredible opportunity to properly protect land by allowing land managers to act sustainably rather than to multi year subsidy prescriptions.

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

@MichaelRamage20 @lwhemmings Concerns about potential winter weather also played a part. 3 years ago the site would’ve been inaccessible for 6 weeks in the beast from the east. Didn’t want to risk consequences of a repeat!

[Andy Howard @AndyHoward1]

Fantastic photos and a cracking job being done on site. Amazed how much more you’ve done since Thursday afternoon @benjaminjmiller
