the cutting becomes embankment to cross the Rainsbrook valley.This Knapweed was left standing over Winter and is obviously benefitting the Goldfinches. The new policy of only cutting half seems to be paying off.We'll cut half of the remaining half in Spring.

Looked in on the scrub that we'd layed a bit of after making a gap to extract an overhanging Willow to open up the pond on the other side. The decision to leave the large Yew now reinforced by the presence of a Goldcrest that seemed very happy there. At

Tufa springs on coal tips 💦 These rare micro-habitats form where water passing through coal spoil picks up calcium - likely from ancient marine bands - and deposits it at the surface. Unusual in the acidic Valleys, and vital for specialist wildlife like soldierflies.

Prosperity Through Growth rests on a false premise: that GDP can rise forever on a finite planet. We know it cannot. Any economic model that ignores climate and biodiversity is detached from reality.

We missed the very worst of storm Bram this morning at Newbold quarry but still felt the heavy downpours that came and went. Every time we thought about packing up it stopped for a bit!! The orchid shelf grassland extension is getting larger and enthusiasm counts for a great deal.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
