A charming little pocket of England that I accidentally discovered today. Every English village should have a church, a stream, and its own little castle.

Fun fact: The new Elizabeth line in London moved more people in 2025 than Highway 401, the busiest freeway in North America.

We shouldn’t have to escape the city for a daily dose of nature, no matter how small.

By challenging the car’s privilege on our streets, we create new opportunities for re-greening; thus boosting our physical, mental, and social well-being.

Study shows that cycling commuters have:
🧠 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia
🧠 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's
🧠 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia
🧠 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia

Imagine this was a pill💊! How much would people and governments pay?

The @Telegraph excels itself today with the claim that @NaturalEngland is ‘ideologically wedded to concept of conservation’. This is our job, & we do it as a matter of legal requirement. Would be odd for a conservation organisation to do anything else.

Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

This train station in Zürich sees over 700 trains a day. Ninety of the 100 biggest cities in the United States don’t see that many trains, combined.

👍Meanwhile, a mile or so away, our overwintering (?) Dartford Warbler has spent the week in a splendid wildlife hedge. Thanks, local farmers. Food & wildlife (including bats and newts) and we have houses for people too. @TonyJuniper @KentWildlife

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Heathrow expansion backed, stricter tax on non-doms out, deregulation back in fashion - all in the name of growth.

This raises a fundamental question: whose growth are we talking about?
