Reposted by Mark Knight 🍉Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole.bsky.social · 16hGeorge is quite right on this. I discovered via FOI requests that just 5% of all woodland creation grants go to support natural regeneration of trees, and 95% to tree planting. I’ll continue to push DEFRA to fix this. www.theguardian.com/environment/... bsky.app/profile/geor...theguardian.comGovernment ‘failing to support natural regeneration of trees in England’Campaigners say targets for woodland creation are unlikely to be met because 95% of grants are for planting 14345107
Mark Knight 🍉 @markknight63.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Dutch auger was 'made' for the #FlagFenBasin - the largely soft, cohesive sediments of #Fenland made characterising the deposit sequence relatively straightforward and most of the auger holes located remnants of an old land surface buried beneath the silts and peat. 0121
Reposted by Mark Knight 🍉Cambridge Archaeological Unit @cambridgearch.bsky.social · 29/09/2026To gather the information needed to build a model the auger survey used a grid 1100m x 500m spaced at 50m intervals across the Flag Fen post alignment corridor. Starting at Fengate to the West and ending at Northey Island to the east a total of 200 points were hand augered. Photo: Emma Bothamley 1124

Apparently, attaching something to someone else's property, without permission, means they can't take it off or it's theft/criminal damage. It would be terrible if someone, who knows where this prick parks, filled his windscreen with RNLI stickers, to test the principle. 2730958

Reposted by Mark Knight 🍉Cambridge Archaeological Unit @cambridgearch.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The stakes in the row at Must Farm were positioned close to the edge of the floodplain, which sat above the area of lower, waterlogged deposits. In places only the very tips of the stakes survived, like this alder example, limiting the amount of information we were able to get from the wood. 0132
