It's been a productive day at the tree nursery as part of our usual weekly Friday volunteer day. The empty sections of the main field beds are being weeded and covered with cardboard over winter, so they are prepared for broadcasting seeds and planting out seedlings in spring.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences?
This is where we show them how solidarity works.

#BanWindfarmsOnProtectedPeatland - Here is the @naturalengland.bsky.social Peat depth map for #WalshawMoor, intended site of 300MW #CalderdaleWindfarm, which has erased most of the blanket bog from their habitats map and produced a poor quality interpolated peat depth map of their own

Happy spring equinox everyone 🌼🌱😍 We had a lovely sunny warm day to mark the occasion. Good day, working at the tree nursery with lovely people in the morning and hedge planting in the afternoon 👌

This is absolutely shocking, basically bullying of democratically elected governments by mining companies and lawyers 😡 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We will be out doing maintenance on the big tree planting site at Gorpley reservoir this Thursday 6th March. We will be replanting trees and replacing tree stakes where high winds or stray sheep have caused some damage and we would really appreciate some help.

South Pennine Moors are part of a curlew breeding hotspot and a Special Protection Area for them and other birds. That's one reason @protectourpeat.bsky.social is petitioning government to ban windfarms on protected peatland in England - please sign and share petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Curlews, the largest European wading bird, nest on the moors in the spring. Curlew numbers have declined with numbers halved from 40 years ago. Please sign and share the Parliamentary petition to ban windfarms on protected peatlands and save the Curlews.

Peatland is a vital ecosystem that forms over 1000's of years and acts as a carbon sink by storing vast amounts of carbon and is also home to many rare plants, insects and birds on the RSPB red list at risk of extinction.
