Peatland restoration plays a key role in our response to the climate change and biodiversity emergencies, so it is good to see Project L-and Community Enterprise Ltd have submitted to restore land in Edinburgh South West. Details - citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web/a...

For #StandingStoneSunday, I present the High and Low Bridestones on the exposed limestone pavement of Sleight's Moor, North York Moors, near the village of Grosmont. Neolithic or Bronze Age, they are a highly complex set of megalithic alignments and circles but poorly understood.

What the fuck do they mean 'spontaneous protest'? 1000 people spontaneously taking a walk around Dover with Balaclavas? Look at the social media of every Far-Right organiser in the UK... This was so clearly planned. This tells every Far-Right thug in the country that they have utter impunity.

Cub hunting, also known as autumn hunting, when hunts train foxhounds on young cubs, is starting. But their lives matter. They shouldn't be killed for sport. It's wrong.

THE UK IS BURNING. When wildfires tear through the landscape, it's wildlife that pays the heaviest price. Nests, burrows and entire habitats are destroyed in minutes.

Lesser-known-fact: the summer #solstice is a moment in time that delivers the longest day/shortest night in the North. At 9:24am (BST) the North Pole will be at its most-tilted towards the Sun. Me & the druids will be on #BBCR4 Broadcasting House later on to celebrate 🤗🔭🧪 📷: National Maritime Museum
The main diagram shows the Earth's annual rotation around the Sun, surrounded by a zodiacal scale that gives the names, symbols and images of the signs of the zodiac. The seasons and the positions of the equinoxes and solstices are marked. Text at the corners describes the Zodiac and the Earth, and a longer text at the bottom explains the Phenomena of the Seasons.

A year ago today we went to the David Hockney exhibition in Paris. It was breathtakingly brilliant. Tree of the day today is any tree he painted because he did it so often and he did it so well. What a talent and how much pleasure he will give for the rest of time. RIP
