Your local MPs, from 3 parties, met with the Minister to discuss the future of the Colne Valley Regional Park.
Its 70 lakes and 200km of rivers are nationally important for wildlife. This area should be protected and the landscape restored for the benefit of people and wildlife.

We turned up this morning to do a #volunteering day at Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve in #Horton near #Windsor and couldn’t access the site. Fly tipping is a big issue. Local authorities need a better solution to deal with this to stop it happening in the first place.

Looking to the stars, reminds us of this small, yet wonderful planet we inhabit. As #MapleCross faces huge change due to development, it is vital that communities can access places like @woodoaksfarm.bsky.social to connect with nature...

That canal side stroll was as good an antidote to the workday blues…for I had beaten off urban stresses in their own territory.

Floating Pennywort poses a continuous threat to our waterways, starving them of oxygen & choking drainage systems. It’s a shocker - it can grow up to 20cm a day & regenerate from a small fragment. Until 2014, this horribly invasive plant was still on sale
