Secret Tree Officer

Tree Officer on a career break. Interests: trees, arboriculture, tree ecology, and the urban forest.

Need an occasional arboricultural consultant in London? I just might be that person.

Cat just acting like this is a natural pose rather than one specifically calculated to make humans coo over him

@ldnphile In a way it shows the mistakes of our civilisation doesn't it. Imagining an exciting future with jetpacks but no space for the natural world.

@NicholasMilton @IoloWilliams2 @StephenMoss_TV @PaulHoskisson @MarkAvery @4peatssake2 How can anyone truly believe that releasing tens of millions of a non-native species into an eco-system every single year will NOT have a massive impact on that environment.

If I could capture the evening light on the trees this tweet would go viral. But I cannot.

Makes me sad that so many medics are willing to act as police for Texas's cruel law.

Three weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. I was six weeks pregnant. I live in Texas, a state that has effectively banned abortions.

A thread about what it is to cease to be pregnant in a state where abortions are banned:

The UK is on the wrong side of history: urgent action is needed to end the war on Yemen. Boris Johnson must stop arms sales that are prolonging this deadly conflict - sign @CAATuk’s open letter if you agree #YemenCantWait #StopArmingSaudi https://t.co/hKC5GScl2C

This is such a tragic failure by the government, throwing away the opportunity to create better relationships between people and countryside https://t.co/frvYPiXTGQ

An open return train ticket to Darlington yesterday for two of us would have cost £492. We did it for £22 in our electric car. I reckon it would have been around £70 in a petrol car. For so many reasons, surely something needs to be done about these train costs?

Temporary accommodation is another issue that needs to be addressed.

Nobody should be being housed in a Garage, Shed, or a Shipping container. Not to mention the homes falling apart.

@JamesTGoodman @GeorgeMonbiot @LocalTrust They do good stuff but projects get slapped down if they are 'too political'.

[Secret Tree Officer @arbonsabbatical]

@MrsNickyClark @JackieMorrisArt @pollymackenzie The 'compassion' of Tories is deadly. You must think it's about how people feel about themselves. But most people have good intentions. What's important is how their actions affect the world.

[Secret Tree Officer @arbonsabbatical]

Yep

[Simon Spanton @SimonGuy64]

Obvious I know, but trees are freakishly amazing things, aren't they?

[Nicklas Jansson @NicklasJansson3]

Is it not fantastic? Compare the oaks from Turkey with the oak in the book.....3000km in between and 170 years have passed but the same tradition! Pollarding for fodder and fire wood....

And if you're not sure if what the media has said is true, check out the actual labour manifesto at https://t.co/56Qt5ZE3L6

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

If you're not sure who to vote for, watch this.

[Secret Tree Officer @arbonsabbatical]

@Horsehead13 @DrDanielTurner @JonMitc12738948 @nicktolhurst @LibDems @UKLabour @joswinson @jeremycorbyn @SwapmyVote You need to ignore euro elections and locals. People don't vote like that in national elections. Unfortunately I think the Tory lead is too big to overturn in TW but Labour were second by some way in last national.
