Our juniper & wildflowers are getting extra watering at the moment. The wildflowers will be planted on our volunteer days this autumn, but the juniper will have to wait another year or three. Juniper from @WildHaweswater & wildflowers grown by staff & volunteers. @NECumbria

Partha Dasgupta, who produced a review on the economics of biodiversity, is one of the world’s foremost intellectuals on valuing nature.

You might be surprised, then, to hear he thinks we need to be more emotional & less intellectual about nature loss.

Excellent start to @sdrfestival by @11Arches with @VCDBusiness - if the next eight months are as good as yesterday evening it will be a great success. Loved the drone show. Good to see many friends of @RailwayHeritage there.

[Naomi Crowther @lightbox_n]

The nine-month festival, delivered by @darlingtonbc, @DurhamCouncil & @stocktoncouncil, runs until Nov 2025 across County Durham and the Tees Valley. The programme is inspired by the first journey on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in the NE of England https://t.co/IyflJeIk0i

What an incredible evening! @sdrfestival finally launched over the weekend to a packed-out crowd in Bishop Auckland. Congratulations to fest director Niccy Hallifax & the team, @ImitatingtheDog @Skymagicdrones the choir Infant Hercules & all the brilliant local performers 💥

[Fell Top Assessors @LakesWeather]

Crags are often named after animals that were associated with them, Raven, Eagle, Falcon, Heron, Hart (male red deer), Dove and Hare Crags to name a few. Today I passed Wolf Crags, I wonder when the last Wolf looked out over Barbaryrigg Moss from here? The last was hunted in 1680

[Naomi Crowther @lightbox_n]

Absolutely brilliant news!

With hundreds of thousands of empty homes across the country, it’s tragic that the UK can’t accommodate its extensive need with existing buildings. Not only that — it’s an opportunity to rethink how we want to live, says Ingrid Schroder https://t.co/Gn4Jq3dhYj
