@KateDent3 @ElliottFairs Can you follow me on this handle as that other one was my old Hiwwt one which I e lost passwords too 😪

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

@hfrs_control @Rushmoor02 Was this in the heathland grazed by cattle or main woodland area?

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

@Steve4Nature @savebutterflies How can I send my SSB data to you for Tweseldown SSSI in Fleet?

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

@Bewickwren @seengwildfiregp @Cal_OES It is too late to plan for today’s #wildfires , however next years wildfires are far enough away that precautionary and preventative measures can start ASAP.

@Firesnapper999 @essexforester @Hants_fire @hfrs_control @Rushmoor02 @HartleyWintney8 @fleet04 @RyanHFRS That was supposed to say gorse, not horse ☺️

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

@Firesnapper999 @essexforester @Hants_fire @hfrs_control @Rushmoor02 @HartleyWintney8 @fleet04 @RyanHFRS Last year I reduced massively the amount of horse on this site and widened firebreaks to increase fire resilience. Did it work and did it help you guys?

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

@Firesnapper999 @essexforester @Hants_fire @hfrs_control @Rushmoor02 @HartleyWintney8 @fleet04 Yep, it’s the mod training area they call F2, known locally as Yateley Common South.
Great pictures.

@savebutterflies please can you help us this caterpillar. There are hundreds of them dropping from an ornamental oak onto a school playground in Devon and teachers are worried it’s toxic to touch

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

@ann_annconquest @TweseldownHT It was in the final 50-100m aswell of an entire site transact. Interesting thing is the place it was on was where scrub was cleared last winter so promising!

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

Carried out a #grayling #butterfly count on @TweseldownHT today to act as baseline before winter works. Saw 1!!!! Looks like scrub removal and bare ground creation can’t come soon enough. Lots of common blues

[elliottfairs @elliottfairs2]

@essexforester @hfrs_control @ForestryComm Perhaps it is time to rethink the approach if the 100 year old message is still not getting through. Bigger 🥕 and even bigger stick!!!!

@TBHPartnership @BC_Surrey @SurreyWT Thanks and good to hear from you Sarah. Good luck with heath week too

[Thames Basin Heaths Partnership @TBHPartnership]

It's not just our open heaths that are at risk of #wildfire in the current weather conditions, our #forestry #plantation sites are as well. Please take the usual precautions and any signs of smoke do dial 999 immediately. @ForestryCommEng @ForestryComm
