What's going on with urban forests where you live? 🌳🌲🍃
City councils are under pressure to allow developers to cut down trees. What are some grass roots initiatives to keep cities cool and green?

I'm currently awaiting the result of a public enquiry into a hideous ripping out of 40 acres of the forest I live in to create a solar park 🤯
I've spent so much time opposing this. Monitoring bats, amphibians, birds... so many red list species 😢

Recent archaeological findings by archaeologist Stéphen Rostain, reveal that the Amazon supported vast & complex ancient urban societies.
He’s hopeful that new archaeological understanding of the Amazon will challenge centuries of prejudice against Indigenous people & offer answers for the future.

An example of deferring to 'experts' without question. Fuel mitigation increases the intensity of wildfires. This is borne out by science which counters the forest industry narrative, something this article fails to do.

Where mountain bikers see a playground, wildfire experts see the makings of a disaster waiting to happen: a tangle of dead and dying Douglas firs; a forest floor littered with deadfall; west-facing slopes that dry out quickly. 🔥🌲
