There are so many reasons to despise the industrial scale of pheasant shooting. This list is just devastating.

Such an honour to be back on the #wainwrightprize shortlist with A River Running Through You. A dream project from the start, as river awareness & guardianship gather pace, the youngest generation are already way ahead of us. This is for them 🩵 Congrats to ALL the other shortlistees 😊🥰xx

A desolate mystery at the shepherd’s bridge

Land, exclusion, refuge, Wild Service and impenetrable local council bureaucracy in the home of the peasant poet John Clare: can we restore collective responsibility and care to rural England?

Hi all. I've written another book. This one is for children, it's called A River Running Through You, and it publishes on 14th May. It's been such a joy to reinterpret some of the insights I've gleaned in recent years thinking with and about rivers this way. 🧵

Reminder that, 10 years ago, Sheffield Council signed a PFI contract which led to the felling of thousands of mature street trees - mainly to save the contractor a few quid. It then took out injunctions against local residents protesting the felling and used arcane anti-union laws to lock them up.
