Another big weekend on Warleigh Nature Reserve guarding a few hundred trees and strimming trails for our ecology tours starting next week. Want a quick tour of what we’ve done so far? Feast your eyes on this.👇🏼 #rewilding #wetlandrestoration

I know the world is going to hell incredibly quickly, but I want to take a minute out of our collective doomscrolling to tell you that the ancient woodland my charity manages just got approval from the Forestry Commission to be restored to a temporate rainforest. Before, After.

If anyone in the entire U.K. wants to plant thousands of trees on their land for free, this winter, and doesn’t care about income just wants free trees, I will drive to you in my EV and we’ll get that going. Swear to god it’s free for you. Just don’t cut em down for 30 years. RT.

I’ve wild camped in countless countries and the only questions have ever been: How long are you staying? Any fires? Are you in good health? So long as it’s one night, no fires, and no trace, nobody has ever given a shit. In Culture War England we instead do assault with slurry

How many times have you heard people say “we need to build more reservoirs to stop the flooding?” We do. We are. Reintroduced beavers are smashing it. Reintroduce more beavers.

Reintroduced beavers found to have built more reservoirs in last three years than all privatised water companies since their creation in 1989.

Some developers tried to cut down an ancient hedgerow, in breeding season, with outdated permission that failed to mention a hedgerow, in an area that recently became an SNCI. We just sent them packing. Brilliant job @BristolTreeFora @DanicaPriest @Cathrinmachin and everyone.

What is the point of the U.K. having marine protected areas if arseholes can just rock up and kill everything living there. Bottom trawling needs to be banned yesterday.

81% of the British public support a ban on bottom trawling in the UK's Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). 64% of respondents thought bottom trawling was already banned in MPAs. @OceanaUK @oceana

I hear “is anyone a first aider” and start running down the canal to help. A cyclist is in the water, face down, not moving, Two guys are struggling to pull him out. We get him up on the bank, and his face is more blue than I’ve ever seen anyone. I thought he was dead.

Just passed through a track I illegally cleared with a chainsaw after the council couldn’t be bothered and it’s happily reminded me that whilst the powers that be are entirely useless, I exist to help people and planet, and I will continue the fight every day in every way.

I will never forgive @WildlifeTrusts for lying repeatedly that HS2 would be wider than motorways, and using that as an argument to fight electric trains over roads. Unacceptable ignorance from somebody we’re meant to trust.
