it's not sustainable without urban trees, urban canopy, and parks, no matter how densely you pack them in. Remind that to every so-called 'urbanist' you see, because they sure don't say anything but 'pave baby pave'. #heatisland #protecturbantrees #planturbantrees #greenspace

Landscape centered around a pond. Billowy clouds drift across a vivid blue sky. A patch of pink and white flowers are in the foreground.
Close-up of a golden-yellow flower. It has four rows of translucent, strap-shaped petals, as well as brown and yellow stamens.
Five back-and-tan ducks sit on the grassy bank of a pond. Tall grasses and small yellow flowers dot the shoreline in the foreground. Bushes with arching, leaf-covered branches fill the background.
A black bird with a patch of red and orange on its wing sits in a tree with barren, spindly branches. The clouds in the background are grey and dense.
National parks aren’t the only option for stunning views, wild spaces are found in urban areas too. Enjoyed visiting Exploration Green, a nature preserve/recreation area that helps with flooding in SE Texas.
What’s your fave city park/green space?

An image of red-eared slider turtles in a pond within the National Garden in Athens, Greece. The dark green reptiles have bright yellow markings and with red stripes down either side of their heads. In the middle of the frame a grouping of four turtles looks directly at the camera. Two sit on rock which is nearly (but not quite) large enough for them to sit side by side. A third turtle is partially on top of the one of the right and tilted downward reaching for the next rock over. The fourth turtle is the current champion of the ongoing battle for top turtle. It sits astride turtles one and two with a foot dominantly planted on each. Various limbs and shells of the many, many residents of the pond and other rocks are out of focus behind the main grouping. The pond is absolutely teeming with this invasive species. There is a large rock pile at the center and being as high as you can get in the pile is clearly the ultimate goal. Standing on others (and shoving them off) is encouraged.
It's turtles all the way down.
Pond of slow motion reptile stacking chaos in the National Garden of Athens.

A photograph of a water feature in a fountain covered in ferns. The underlying structure is barely visible beneath all the plant coverage. A small sculpture of a woman sits at the very top. She holds an urn in her right hand which is pouring out a small stream of water to a pool outside the frame. In the background, a metal structure that's somewhere between a gazebo and a pergola is seen. It surrounds the little fountain. Beyond is a more forested section of the park. The National Garden in Athens, Greece.
The National Garden in Athens is full of tucked away surprises. This metal pergola holds a tall fern covered planter/fountain combo. The water pours out of the urn and into a little pool filled with fish below.

So glad I was able to get a bike ride in this afternoon and a run this morning. Lucky to have good access to #greenspace and segregated routes for physical activity. #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors
Two photos - white wood anemone flowers with green leaves amongst fallen brown leaves; a woodland scene of fallen brown leaves, blue sky with sun shining through trees
A perfect spring day as I led my 1st lunchtime taster session of #forestbathingoncampus @durham.ac.uk - a chance for staff & students to find their relaxing 'sit spot' to appreciate the sun's warmth, birds chirping away & new growth shooting forth. Book onto May's event via #greenspace SharePoint
A little more about Draycott in the Moors - including how to get there on public transport, and three walking routes:

Just to the right of centre a group of very pale yellow flowers with darker yellow centres with orange lines radiating from the centre of the flower. There is another flower top left slightly out of focus. They're growing up through grass and some thin dead twigs. Their leaves are a dark crinkly green.
The first of our Primroses are just starting to flower in The Slade entrance to the Valley. 😊
Planted by our volunteers over a number of years, they're one more #SignsOfSpring.

Andy Burnham made a number of statements, and they are worth noting and dissecting.
There are things to applaud but the tendency in a speech like this is to paint an overly celebratory picture, and to elide some of the real issues.

Key messages ● Households that meet the ‘15-minute commitment’ are defined as those which have access to either doorstep, local or neighbourhood standard green spaces, as well as some Public Rights of Way and blue spaces, within a 15-minute walk. ● 80% of households in England have access to at least one green or blue space within a 15-minute walk. ● A higher percentage of rural households (91%) have access to green or blue space compared to urban households (78%). ● Most households have access to at least one larger, neighbourhood standard space (76%) within a 15-minute walk, with fewer households having access to smaller local (14%) and doorstep (16%) standard spaces within shorter walking distances.

From the #FarrellCentre Opening Reception last week - looking forward to future events! #regeneration #planning #UrbanForest #GreenSpace
Out of 139 included papers, only six studies directly compared different #bluespace types within the same study. Most studies compared blue spaces to urban or a #greenspace environments, rather than other blue spaces.
Lots of research gaps left to address in #bluespaces!

We've had a lot of cloud & rain in the UK over the past 4 weeks so earlier today it was great to go for a brisk countryside walk in the #sunshine with loads of #bluesky! A good way to manage the #winterblues, #enhancewellbeing, #managestress & elicit the #relaxationresponse. #Greenspace helps too!
