Wonderful 100 yr birthday party for CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire. Great speech from Fiona Reynolds, & the launch of a new book on environmental trail-blazer, Ethel Haythornthwaite. I was so lucky & privileged to work for Gerald & Ethel H at the start of my career. cprepdsy.org.uk/news/helen-mor…

UK dictionaries exclude humans from their definitions of nature. But language matters & if we want to repair our relationship with nature - we also need to redefine it & recognise that #WeAreNature . Join the campaign and sign the petition here: wearenature.org

Latest from me: A radical politics rooted in nature is spreading – and the establishment doesn’t like it theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Fantastic news: MPs said a firm yes to ending #peat sales in #horticulture , rejecting opposition from Christopher Chope MP. Fully supported to a second reading. We urge #government to fast-track this now and get peat out of our gardens once and for all Rebecca Pow #peat free

Today we're celebrating 70 years of the Peak District National Park Ranger Service!!! 🙌💚🎉🎂

First rate comment here from a politician with a backbone. The Conservatives are doomed electorally because they have nothing to offer the nation of substance and because they are so debased and broken they resort to gutter politics.

After 14 years of Conservative Government, nature is under attack. Our National Parks should be the crown jewels of our natural environment, but the Tories have degraded them beyond recognition.

This Thursday, join us at Edale Village Hall at 2.30pm for a unique, free 'in conversation' event in the company of Moors for the Future Partnership Manager Chris Dean and author and podcaster Sarah Lister.

National Parks *ought* to be bastions of nature recovery.

Instead, they're often in worse condition for wildlife than the wider landscape, find Campaign for National Parks.

Will Rishi Sunak, @keir_starmer & Ed Davey commit the funds & reforms needed to restore these landscapes?

Nature in #NationalParks isn’t immune from the crisis that is happening elsewhere.

We need urgent action and major changes – the government needs to strengthen legislation and significantly increase the resources for nature recovery our Parks 👀👇

A rogues gallery of environmental hypocrisy! What they call an arbitrary decision is in fact objective advice based on years of study by experts in their field. They seem unable to grasp the basic concept of Natural England being an official government advisory body.
