Have you visited one of the Flagship wetland restoration sites recently? The Nenescape @FftFproject project, led by the @wildlifebcn is seeking feedback from visitors about the new interpretation featured at two locations in the Nene Valley - Ferry Meadows and Upton Park.

This is good news that all farmers in England will get catchment sensitive farming advice instead of the postcode lottery that currently happens. Hopefully the grant funding will be available for all farmers also so everyone can make a difference. – at East, England
Farmers have an important role to play in ensuring our watercourses are protected from pollution.
An extra £17m of funding means all farmers in England can benefit from our Catchment Sensitive Farming partnership to get advice on protecting water quality: gov.uk/government/news/fundi…

This is a thread from me commenting on each point in PM @BorisJohnson's 10 point plan on #climatechange
I'll start by saying; of course it's welcome PM is publishing a plan even if I have disagreements with some points
And good that framing is pro-jobs

Many thousands of lawns throughout the UK are filled with the ingredients to make a #wildflowermeadow. Look what can happen when you stop mowing the lawn:
1. Better for #wildlife
2. Less mowing
3. Looks beautiful
Conclusion - Win! Win!

The complex multi-functional value of floodplain meadows must be fully considered & backed with scientific evidence in the planning system:
flood protection, water quality, carbon storage, biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, cultural/heritage/wellbeing values

Great to find quaking grass and ragged robin on a @wildlifebcn Local Wildlife Site meadow that hadn't been surveyed for 30 years! #30DaysWild day10.

We’re working hard with our #farming community to bring a buzz to the countryside!
This undersown stewardship mix gives nectar for pollinators, then seed for winter birds later in the year. Good for farmers, good for wildlife!

If a noisy eater has been getting on your nerves during lockdown, then be thankful you weren’t stuck with our Woodwalton Fen #NNR cattle! Top marks for conservation grazing skills, but poor marks for dining etiquette
