A walk around a field of winter bird seed (with the farmer's blessing) prescribed by the village GP, surrounded by flocks of yellowhammers and linnets. Learning about conservation farming too. All within 5 mins of the village centre. What's not to like? @naturalengland.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social

Chequer tree (Sorbus terminalis) seedlings. A year in the fridge to germinate, now being raised to replenish those lost to human progress! Historically found in the Weald of Kent, our volunteers are redressing the balance with genetically appropriate plants raised from locally harvested seeds. 🍂

Great to have @mardenmark.bsky.social counting birds to show farmers what a good job they are doing and to have our ringers tracking individual birds around the area to show how farmers’ work improves survival.

HELP! A free-range poultry farm with 128,000 hens on the banks of a SSSI river. Will veterinary pharmaceuticals in run-off threaten land or riverine condition? Pointers to research please as the operator refuses to provide info about hen welfare or medication. @ukceh.bsky.social ?

In 1857 peasants gleaned corn while landowners looked on. The painting caused a fuss because it made landowners appear uncaring. 167 years later we have landowners gleaning yellow rattle to help recreate lost meadows. Discuss.
