Today Althea Gibson would have turned 96.
When I was 13, she showed me what World No. 1 looked like, & doing the same became my goal.
She broke the color barrier in tennis as the 1st Black person to win a major.
Let's continue to honor her memory always.

Morning & welcome to another Super Seabird Sunday (almost 1 year since it was created). Post your videos/photos of seabirds to help bring joy to timelines like these Puffins on the Isle of May #SuperSeabirdSunday
Dear @UKLabour,
You should know that just because the Conservative Party have wrecked our society, we are not just going to vote for you by default. Your actions right now are deeply troubling on many fronts and we’ll hold you to account.
Please RT if you agree.
The longer we wait to restore nature, the more it will cost! Tomorrow, you need to vote the EU Nature Restoration Law through, for the climate, biodiversity and people! #RestoreNature@Reneweurope#StopExpandingStartRestoring
For anyone who thinks that #NoMowMay is about leaving your grass to look scruffy, untidy and unkempt. A walkthrough of one of my client’s #wildlifegarden, embracing #NoMowSummer. You absolutely CAN have #nature friendly, yet retain an element of formality…😍👇🌱🐝 Perfection 💚
@curlewcalls Great view! We made it to Knighton. Loved the dandelion post, they were a constant on everyday of the walk (along with the bluebells) #offasdyke
Manifesto writers, please take note.
The law requires Government to halt wildlife decline by 2030. In case anyone thought it'd be easy, see new new bird stats today: relentless decline.
Success means transformation in #nature investment & regulation.

Did you see #WildIsles? Salmon could be lost from the UK within 20yrs, leaving food webs in tatters and whole river systems threatened by the loss of a critical keystone species.
Salmon COULD yet recover but we can't save them without #rewilding on land and at sea.

Ahead of my meeting with @The_RHS Director of Science, let’s show them how many people think there’s no such thing as a “WEED.” Please like this tweet if you want our #native#wildflowers to STOP being referred to as “WEEDS.” Thanks so much to you all for the support on this ❤️👊
Our next rehearsal is Tue 25 April, and we're looking forward to welcoming new & returning members to the orchestra!! #Schubert#Sibelius#Weber Get in touch if you'd like to come and play 😎
It is getting even more impossible to ignore the climate crisis. The fact that people in power still somehow live in denial, and actively move in the wrong direction, will eventually be seen for and understood as the unprecedented betrayal it is. It is just a matter of time.
I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Watch the vid 🙏🏼

I think we owe it to nature & David, the BBC programme makers & @WildlifeTrusts @Natures_Voice to make Episode 6 the MOST WATCHED of the entire #WildIsles series? Who’s in? 🙋🏻♀️ https://t.co/A6WH07Gaod
