Reading an interesting recent report from the IUCN UK Peatland Programme and the National Trust on the compatibility of trees and peatlands. The aim is to restore hydrology first, but with some caution, there's room for trees. www.iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/news/native-...

There remains a perceived tension between trees and peat. However, native trees are an important part of our peatland natural heritage and must be included in any truly landscape-scale restoration app...

Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

Every stripe tells a story. Of changing seasons. Of rising temperatures. Of a warming world that is already affecting our landscapes, our food & our future. But this story isn't finished. The choices we make today will shape the world inherited by the next generations. #ShowYourStripes

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
