Nature reclaims the space! In the 1700s, this was a grand Avenue to a large country estate. Someone went to an awful lot of effort for what is now an easily overlooked feature. Historical maps and a good eye 📷 RF #OldSulehay #woodland #history

On the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day, here’s a book recommendation. A deeply moving read and, given the current state of the world, highly relevant #HolocaustMemorialDay #NeverForget #Fascism #Genocide

Kyoto: timely and enthralling play about first climate treaty reveals potent power of consensus

With a climate change denier as US president, Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson’s politics-as-glossy-spectacle could not be more on point.

Sulphur tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare), looking a little worse for wear. A common saprotrophic fungus, it’s commonly found feeding on stumps, felled trunks and other dead wood from broad-leaf trees and less commonly conifers 📷 RF #fungi #fungifriends #mushrooms #woodland

There’s a tendency to rush to measure everything, everywhere, when a more targeted approach focused on key taxa and interactions is more likely to generate testable data. Some valuable insights www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco...

Wow! What a film. Loved everything about ‘A Complete Unknown’ and, seeing it a day before Trump’s inauguration reminds me that better days are possible. Hang in there, world. Timothee Chalamet’s portrayal is just remarkable 🎭 🎶 🎥 #ACompleteUnknown #BobDylan #film #folkmusic #rocknroll

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... after running my own sustainability consultancy, I recognise this. With a few exceptions, businesses aren’t really tracking their impact on natural capital in everything that they do. A lot of talking the talk, but… #naturalcapital #business #sustainability

As someone who tried to stand up for poorer, urban communities on this issue when in local government, I can confirm there’s an unwillingness to act. It’s almost as if some people don’t count… #airpollution #inequality #braindamage

Emerging from the leaf litter. The beautiful upright coral fungus (Ramaria stricta). Is it mycorrhizal or is it saprophytic? 📷 RF #fungifriends #uprightcoral #mycorrhizal #saprophytic #fruitingbody #leaflitter #woodland #bedfordpurlieus

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... You know it’s superb storytelling when you can recommend a film on biodiversity to people outside the sector and their response is “wow”! Talking science is something we all need to improve, though I guess it helps if you’re Bjork 🍄 🎥 #fungi #weboflife #merlinsheldrake
