New #bikebus alert. Watch this space for news of a new #edinburgh bike bus coming in October. Meanwhile here is a photo from today's Flora Stevenson bike bus. What a happy and clean air picture it paints @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @scottishgreens.org @scottishlabour.bsky.social @

"Rewilding brings us back to the primacy of nature being able to look after itself." It takes a lot of work to get this started @whittledaway.bsky.social #Rewilding event @tcddublin.bsky.social

The latest copy of the brilliant @irishwoodlandtrust.bsky.social magazine has arrived, as usual crammed with great articles. To get active in the fight for Irish nature and forests, you couldn't do better than to join both them and the @irishwildlifetrust.bsky.social. They're the real thing. 🌎 💪🏽

This week trains in Scotland got cheaper! 🚆 Our public transport must be accessible, reliable and affordable. That's why we've worked so hard alongside unions and passengers to scrap peak fares on our railways, and provide free travel for young people on our buses and ferries.

🛤️Heading home on the train? You'll no longer have to pay peak rail fares! Why? Because the Greens, trade unions, and commuters demanded that the Scottish Government scrap them!

Last week of #bikebus action for the sunniest school term ever! #edinburgh had 6 bike bus routes running today. That's a lot of healthier happier kids and parents. Less traffic also! @sustrans.bsky.social @sustransscot.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Fab to see the kids riding to school for the last bike-bus of the school year! 🚲 🚌 📚 Today’s theme: Practicing yer wheelies* Love it! *done safely on the traffic-free sections

A great read if you want to know how land is owned and managed in the UK . @guyshrubsole.bsky.social . Thanks @srucnews.bsky.social for having this book in your library too Inspire our students to change the world for the better.

I’m so excited to share that I’m to be the Green candidate for the Fountainbridge-Craiglockhart by-election on 26 June. I want to bring care back into politics, to commit strongly to solidarity, safer roads, tenants rights, and green spaces in our ward. I look forward to the next 6 weeks!

I’ve always been sad that my neighbouring ward Cllr @gavincorbett.bsky.social stood down at the last election so we didn’t work on cross boundary issues together 🗺️📍 I’m delighted Gavin is endorsing the excellent @qmanivannan.bsky.social who will make a fab colleague instead (!) 🗳️ #VoteGreen

I'm delighted and honoured to receive a pre-publication copy of 'Is a River Alive?', by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social, whose exquisite writing has always had a huge influence on me. I can't wait to read this. And not too long before it's in the shops either: tomorrow morning, in fact!

I’m looking forward to chairing my first @wolct.bsky.social board meeting this evening. So much activity and plans to pore over as we protect, improve and engage communities in the river and its environment.

These sunny spring days offer the perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. Earlier this month, Nature Champion for Paths @sandeshgulhane.bsky.social joined @ramblersscotland.bsky.social for a walk along the Kelvin to discuss the health benefits from walking/wheeling in nature.

No rain since I cleaned windows. Look at the dirt on them. The burning of the heather moors in Scotland is causing visible air pollution. Kids with asma, vulnerable people with lung issues, what about them? Get it stopped. @scottishgreens.org @snp.org @rspb.bsky.social @irishrainforest.bsky.social

Some very smart custom high viz on show at the Flora Stevenson #bikebus this morning.🤗

In sound and in vision. Great job by #bbc for showing #birdsong by @seanronayne.bsky.social. As a child in Sligo in 80s I tried recording blue tits with my tape recorder 🤗. It was a total fail! I just hope the call of Corn Crakes will come back some day to my home village in Sligo.

My hedgehog photo gets mentioned here🤠. Lovely article by a guy who cares. www.change.org/p/help-save-...

New #BikeBus Alert for #Edinburgh! Later this year another new bike bus will help Edinburgh to have healthier and more active kids\parents; reduce traffic levels,air pollution & brake pad dust! @sustransscot.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @scottishgreens.org

"[Sitka plantations are] the reason people in our county were without power for 19 days." The Irish county most infested by alien monoculture deadzones - Leitrim - has had enough. Time to ditch this disastrous forestry model. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Hi @sportsorla.bsky.social womens road race cycling participation seems to be very low in Scotland just now. Edinburgh Road Club is organising a women's race on March 15th, (mens races also) . Any chance of a repost? www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/detai... Thank you.

And the real figure, ie natural forest as opposed to mainly monoculture plantations, for the Irish republic is far, far lower, at only around 1%, down from an estimated original of 80%. Think about that.

New #bikebus day in #edinburgh. Parsons Green Primary ran a small pilot bike bus this morning and plan to run it weekly going forward. #awesome. @edinburghminute.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @scottishgreens.org @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @edi.bike @edinreporter.bsky.social @sustrans.bsky.social

If you watch one weather forecast today, watch this one. Stay safe Ireland and Scotland! x.com/BBCScotWeath...

A Beaumont #BikeBus! Not my normal bike bus with a tractor and a dinosaur instead of school kids. A lovely time was had accompanying Mark Beaumont on a ride to keep @mndoddie5.bsky.social in the public minds eye.

New #bikebus alert! #Edinburgh will be getting a new bike bus in January. More details to follow after the pilot run on Jan 24th. @sustrans.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @spokeslothian.bsky.social check out other bike buses in Edinburgh here -> bikebus.org/edinburgh/

Just one of three #bikebus groups making their way to George Watson's College in #edinburgh today. In total 32 kids on bikes helped reduce traffic congestion in the city this morning. @spokeslothian.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social @sustrans.bsky.social

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍
