🌳It's great to see action has finally been taken to clean-up the devastating waste dumping at Hoad's Wood. 💔The impact on this irreplaceable SSSI #AncientWoodland has undoubtedly been appalling, but recovery can soon start. #RescueHoadsWood

🚨We have exciting news to share! @SteveBarclay has issued a ministerial directive to @EnvAgency to clear up Hoad's Wood. See below from our good friends at @KentWildlife We look forward to the cleanup starting next month! 🌳🦌🪺🦋💚🍾 kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/news/campaigne…

🌳🧵Can you tell the difference between politicians who care about nature recovery and those who'll just back business as usual? Here are 6 questions I'll be asking #GeneralElection candidates when they appear at my door.

BBC story about the launch of Tree Equity Score UK today - and how a school in Sheffield is fighting air pollution with trees. @WoodlandTrust bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…


Could the Darwin Oak become another Sycamore Gap? It’s time for us to stop sacrificing these iconic trees. Make the right decision @ShropCouncil #livinglegends

⚠️Today @ShropCouncil will decide whether the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road is given the go-ahead. 🛣️The scheme will have huge impacts on nature, with nine #VeteranTrees to be lost, 37 more to be harmed and #AncientWoodland subject to damage.

Calls grow for stronger protection for trees in UK against felling If you want better protection for our oldest and most special trees, please sign the Woodland Trust's petition to protect our living legends. See link campaigns.woodlandtrust.org.uk/page/99702/pet… theguardian.com/environment/20…

🧵Pre our @WoodlandTrust / @CoedCadw campaigns team #WorldMentalHealthDay chat - I wrote down my #mentalhealth coping mechanisms, what I like to do, and what I would like to do. 1) Supporting youth climate & nature crisis activism.

Another example of why we urgently need proper protection for our heritage trees. This is a rare mature elm survivor & might have important genetics for this enigmatic species. If it were a building it would likely be Grade II* listed & development would have to be built round it

Regret to report the campaign by myself & colleagues to save #Witham Lynfield Elm has failed. Despite surviving Dutch Elm Disease & decades of being on an island between busy roads, the tree is doomed 'thanks' to developers & failure of #Essex County Council to spot that (1/2)

On Saturday we had an inspiring day with our Evolving Conservation Leaders and some of the mentors who support the programme. Our morning discussions, led by Becky Park, centred around the need for resilience when you are working in conservation.

Horrific. We need better protection for these pillars of natural heritage.

🌳The Sycamore Gap Tree won England's #TreeOfTheYear contest in 2016. 💔How horrible to see it has been felled.

Thank you to Adrian Chiles and @bbc5live for having me on for @WoodlandTrust I thought @RobGMacfarlane was amazing. So eloquent and thoughtful. Brought a tear to my eye before having to speak myself. Still feel sick about the situation. Pure disbelief.

Did someone say 'free trees?' ⬇️

DO YOU WANT A FREE TREE? We're working with the legends over @woodlandtrust to protect and preserve 3000 trees. And we'd love to give them to you. For your chance to win one of these, comment below what you'd name your tree. Although, we have already called 'Vin Tree-sel'.

Do you want to make a meaningful contribution to the future of our oldest and most special trees? We are looking for a Policy and GIS intern to do exactly that! Apply here: jobs.woodlandtrust.org.uk/vacancies/vaca…


The consultation on the proposals to ravage over 50 hectares of ancient woodland in Kent ends tomorrow. Can you help us reach 25,000 objections? campaigns.woodlandtrust.org.uk/page/130168/ac… @WoodlandTrust #ancientwoodland
