Would love your support for our new project! There are only 216 months of childhood. We shouldn't try to fill every second, but sometimes a good idea at the right moment can give a child one more way to grow. Check out How to Grow a Goat 🐐 daily outdoor activities for kids

We're looking forward to hearing about people's #BusAndBack walking adventures in 2026. buildstories.slowways.org/bu… We're slowly going to share a thread of ideas. We'd love to see yours too! First, how about @TfL's 389 in #Barnet? At 1.5 miles, is this the UK's shortest route? 🧵

100K views and counting for #EarthIn100Seconds! If you had the power to swap 1% of one kind of land use for another, which would you choose and why? Who do you think should watch the film, or would find it useful? Please share it with them! youtube.com/watch?v=4yHz4WjW…
