"The government’s response? “We don’t believe a further independent review is required.”

Let that sink in. £560 million of public money disappeared into one freeport alone. And they don’t think we need to look into it."

Some finds from Wytham Woods, on their fungi monitoring stations! There weren’t any oyster mushrooms but I did discover these:

King Alfred’s cakes (Daldinia concentrica)
Hairy stereum (Stereum hirsutum)

In addition to the questionable wisdom of spraying PFAS on food crops, organisations like @paneurope.bsky.social highlight, many PFAS pesticides break down into TFA, a forever chemical German authorities class as reprotoxic - harmful to fertility + child development - which can get into groundwater.
Sweden is re-evaluating 38 PFAS pesticides over links to TFA

#TFA is a short-chain #PFAS contaminating water sources 🌊

Earlier this year, Denmark banned several pesticides tied to TFA. The UK has yet to take any action on #PFASpesticides 🌱

Seattle and Portland area folks:

These two sweeties need a new foster home by December 12th. One boy, one girl, both fixed. They’ll come with food, toys, and litter (also a cat playpen if you want it).

Would really appreciate any shares to cast a wider net.

In today's Budget, the Chancellor spoke about building the economy “brick by brick” but left out the very foundation that underpins it all: nature.

The same Government that promised to restore our natural world appears instead to have wiped it from their agenda.

What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be.
It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want.

It uses the antibiotic compound ascorynin to deter invasive fungi, helping trees to stay healthy.

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership
