Great to have our Research Officer at @teeswildlife.bsky.social lead a workshop with #NaturalEngland today, exploring large‑scale #Teesside opportunities for shorebird conservation. Equally brilliant to hear from Warden Derek and learn more about the current #LittleTern protection at #SeatonCarew.

Instead of transparency, the response is to restrict all elver fishers — using vague claims and implied blame — over losses involving a critically endangered species.
That is not conservation. That is deflection.

🚨Hoylake beach update🚨

After a LONG six years, we’re finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel!! An agreement has finally been reached between @NaturalEngland and @WirralCouncil which means around 2% of the 41ha of vegetated foreshore at Hoylake will be cleared.

Summarised Botanical Value Map 2023 (England) naturalengland-defra.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/Def... annual data release from @naturalengland.bsky.social

Technical report publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/...

#naturalcapital #biodiversity #geospatial #defradata #opendata
The Summarised Botanical Value Map 2023 (England) is a map identifying areas likely to be rich in high quality habitat based on BSBI vascular plant records. The Summarised Botanical Value Map at the monad scale (1 x 1 km grid cells) was created to provide an easily interpretable output which provides a high-level overview of botanical interest across landscape to help inform initial strategic planning. This value map categorised monads as being of Low, Moderate, or High botanical value according to the presence of RST species and/or the estimated proportion of PHPI and AWI species present in each monad when compared with its surrounding area (within an area of land equivalent to a 25 km radius). The map identifies areas likely to be rich in high-quality habitat and is shared under an Open Government Licence (OGL). This work was supported in part by Defra through the Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment programme (NCEA).

Nearly 30% of UK soils are deficient in the essential plant nutrient phosphorus, while 40% have more than the rotation realistically needs, found analyst #NRM, a #CawoodGroup company, after reviewing its database of 170,000 field records. #NaturalEngland

Back in 1997, there were just 11 booming male Bitterns left in the UK – almost extinct. Thanks to conservation by @RSPB and @NaturalEngland, there are now 283 booming males in 2024.

🔥 Natural England Wrong Again on Peat Burning

New research shows controlled burning before rewetting peat can cut methane emissions by 95% — the opposite of what @NaturalEngland claims. Time for @DefraGovUK to look at the facts.

Out yesterday looking to help a local land owner improve their wildlife habitat and at the same time make a bit more money. Some exciting opportunities and the neighbours next door seemed pretty interested too! Working with @rspb and @NaturalEngland #teamwork
