Disappointed in the @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social who has an account here with 3.3k followers but has never posted. I was going to share its recent Wild Live event but won't if they can't be bothered to post it here. I might start choosing who to support based on their twitter:bluesky usage 😔

The Govt’s own assessment warns that climate change & biodiversity loss threaten long-term food security & worsen natural disasters. I’m pressing for a debate on the Joint Intelligence Assessment so Parliament can scrutinise this important report.

Dream of better things to come, and chat to other food growing fans, at the #IncredibleEdibleBarnet seed swap in a few weeks time. See you there?

An across-government technical assessment published today recognises that "nature is the foundation of national security" and that "every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse". A rational response to this would be to get very serious about nature recovery. www.gov.uk/government/p...

I think, even if you don't live in London, #WildLondon is a great watch. My least favourite stat: By the end of summer there could be as many as 14,000 slugs in a london garden 😮 My most favourite quote: The best place to enjoy nature is close to home 😍

Maybe someone should tell Keir Starmer to step up on the climate crisis? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/05/mps-underestimate-support-green-policies-study

Have you made a new year's resolution to be more of a nature explorer this year? If so, this webinar hosted by @barnetfoe.bsky.social on Thursday 22 January at 7pm might be right up your street! Please share with anyone you think will be interested.

It’s time to reflect on the year past, so here are a few of my fave things from 2025. 🎆 Happy new year everyone! 🥂 Here’s to more time in nature next year, more understanding and more hope. We can do this 😍

I was a bit sad today when I needed to have the small boats chat with my mum. The rhetoric of excessive immigration has reached her, a generally open-minded women in her 70s living in a majority white town in the Midlands. Can anyone recommend further resources to help me with future chats?

Looks like I might need to revisit my anti-flying stance in 2026 if I am due to be a Top Gun 😬

I really really really wish more people were aware of this

Don't buy crap presents. Buy good ones. Like this!

What a delightful mini series about food plants on BBC sounds. Made in the 80s the series gives a snapshot to our recent food history and much is still relevant. 16 x 8-min episodes about a range of foods from beans to wheat, covering their history and importance to the world we live in. Enjoy!

Well that's a wrap for 2025! A few weeks ago we had a terrific time decorating the garden, having a quick tidy up and planting some bulbs before leaving the whole space (and us) to have a breather for a few months. Here's to more garden fun in 2026, but first it's time to rest 😊

Something exciting is coming!🌿 Wild London, presented by Sir David Attenborough, co-produced by London Wildlife Trust, will broadcast on New Year's Day, 6:30pm on BBC One! 👉 Click the link below to learn more www.wildlondon.org.uk/keep-london-...

This should be an interesting, but probably sobering, event tomorrow ...

What an Incredible Edible year! Here's a quick recap of some of what we got up to at IEB... Warning - there are pictures of peaches (well, peach) and beans 😋

The wonderful charity I'm a trustee for, Citizens Advice Barnet, is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge this year, where donations are doubled until 9 Dec. If you are able to support this great local charity with a few £s we would be very grateful 🙏 donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

"We did not see enough discussion about livestock or meat production in particular, or even diets in general. So I think this is a pretty big missed opportunity." Dan Jasper, Sr Policy Advisor https://bit.ly/4afp4Oc @sentientmedia.org

Hate Black Friday (like me)? How about Bean Friday instead? Highly recommend you give this #BoldBeanCo Squash, sage and goats cheese bean-otto recipe a try tonight 😋 In fact, just get their cookbooks, there are lots of other tasty treats like this one.

I find this info helpful, thanks @octopus.energy Just a little thing but, I was about to put the dishwasher on but will now wait until this evening instead.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? 🤪

🥗 Just because the weather's getting cooler (and wetter) doesn't mean a lack of locally grown seasonal veggies. 👩‍🌾 We have two excellent growers in #NorthLondon who sell nature friendly food all year: Enfield Veg Co and GROW. They operate slightly differently, find out more in the comments below 👇

Disappointing to say the least. Maybe they missed ALL THE INFO ABOUT FIXING THE FOOD SYSTEM TO FIX THE PLANET 😵

We had a very apeeling day at the Incredible Edible Barnet Apple and Pear celebration a few weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who came, donated apples, chopped, crushed, pressed, drank, chatted, tasted, shared food memories, made mobiles, peeled apples and looked for bugs!

Thank you FoE for finding the right words for such a terrible situation. And sending my personal thoughts to the Jewish people in my community in Barnet. We stand with you against hate.

I don't think the media realises they don't need to tell people to eat less meat to help climate and biodiversity issues, they just need to help people eat more beans (and other veggies)!

Absolute treat to find this little one in my garden this evening! It was in an area that wouldn't have been easy for it to get out, so it was moved into the veg beds, where it can hopefully snack on all the visiting 🐌🐌🐌🐌

Tis the perfect time to get some apple cider vinegar on the go ✅

The @bmfforum.bsky.social's Interfaith Gardening and Green Food picnic last weekend, as part of the @london.gov.uk's #MayorsCommunityWeekend, was such an enjoyable day 😍 I loved sharing plants from Incredible Edible Barnet with people from across Barnet and beyond. And the food was delicious too 😋

🍎 Come one, come all, and help us celebrate all things fruity!

This looks like a crucial event. @dantomlinson.bsky.social @sarahsackman.bsky.social @davidpintod.bsky.social It doesn't look like any of the Barnet MPs have registered yet. Please can you let us know if you will be attending?

This is bean-yond (sorry, not sorry) great news! Thanks for spilling the beans about the brilliance of beans 🫘
