I know what I'll be doing this weekend

The English Oak Project @thekentacorn.bsky.social · 8d

When windy place your best ear to the bark of an oak tree, and with a hand stop all noise entering the other ear

When you get used to the embarrassment from the looks of passers by, you can concentrate on listening THROUGH the tree to the trunk & branches working with the wind

I'd just like to say that I slid down a riverbank and fell on my bum in the mud whilst taking these nice #mushroom photos. You're welcome! #fungi #fungussky #autumn #autumnwalks #woodlandwalks #NorthDevon

Migrants aren’t bankrupting the country - it’s your Nan*.

How an ageing demographic in the UK has been known about, and ignored, for years, and why migrants aren’t to blame.

*It’s also not really your Nan.

Nan’s Not Bankrupting Britain (But Politicians Might Be)

"If 100,000 tonnes of dredged spoil can be dumped annually in a designated Marine Conservation Zone, it's clear these areas are protected in name only."

Sussex Wildlife Trust @sussexwildlife.bsky.social · Aug 28

Our ‘protected’ chalk reef is set to have sediment dumped on it for another 10 years – so we’re seeking a judicial review. It’s a fight not only for the Sussex coast, but for of all 91 Marine Conservation Zones around the English coast.
