A serene wetland area with patches of grass and shrubs surrounded by shallow water reflecting the sky.
A new Marches Peat Partnership is bringing people together to restore and protect peatlands across our region 🌱
Healthy peat means better water, more wildlife, less flooding, and stored carbon.
Collaboration is key—and this is a big step for nature’s recovery.

Share your thoughts on Herefordshire's Local Nature Recovery Strategy by midnight March 22. The plan outlines local priorities and actions for nature restoration. #NatureRecovery #Herefordshire Have your say:
Graphic with a blurred natural background showing mushrooms in grass, overlaid with Green Party branding and text. At the top, the slogan reads “REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.” In the centre, bold text says “PROTECT OUR PRECIOUS WAXCAP GRASSLANDS.” Below, a quote reads: “Waxcap grasslands are among our most precious and overlooked habitats. What steps are the Government taking to protect them, and what progress has been made towards recognising waxcap grasslands as a habitat of principal importance?” The quote is attributed as a written parliamentary question from Natalie Bennett, Green Party peer, with her portrait shown. The Green Party logo appears at the bottom alongside imprint text.
Waxcap grasslands are rare, beautiful, and ecologically vital habitats – yet they lack the protection they deserve.
The Government must recognise their importance and act to safeguard them.

Yesterday our team were working on a new site (gifted to Natural England) which includes two meadows and an old orchard off the Pocklington Canal. It's long been neglected, but has huge potential for #naturerecovery and opportunities for public access and engagement in the #LDV.
Workshop 1: Nature Recovery 11.15am to 12.15pm --- Introductions (10 mins) Facilitator role: Welcome participants, set a positive tone, ask everyone to introduce themselves. Activity: Each participant to introduce themselves in 1 minute or less, including: · Name, · Organisation, · Area of expertise, · A nature recovery project they are involved in or interested in. --- Question 1 (20 mins) Peer learning Facilitator: Ask participants to reflect on what they heard during the panels and consider who is at the table. Ask everyone to write down one question for someone else on the table. Facilitator selects a participant to start. Questions are asked and answered. Activity: Each participant writes down one question for someone else at the table on a sticky note. Participants respond. Example prompts: · Ask someone else for advice or expertise, · Ask how you could better collaborate or help someone else, · Ask about challenges they’ve faced or successes they’ve had. Put sticky notes in envelope to be collected. --- Question 2 (25 mins) Barriers and Opportunities Facilitator: Ask participants to reflect on barriers and opportunities they’ve encountered in relation to a nature recovery project (e.g., funding, policy, support, knowledge). Activity: Each participant writes one barrier or one opportunity, on paper, according to their experience. Go around the table and share aloud. Facilitator notes significant points. Follow up prompts: · Can anyone else in the group offer a solution to these barriers? · Has anyone heard of or experienced similar opportunities before? Facilitator notes significant points. --- Closing pledges (5 mins) Reflect, consolidate & commit to action. Activity: Each participant..

Usability is important - What are group/community groups? NWT are hosting focus groups to gather e.g. ideas through audience research. Also can avoid this so not for "if" they can see themselves.

We believe Wales can be wilder — in its landscapes, its wildlife and its spirit. This isn’t just a new name. It’s our vision for nature recovery.
What does a wilder Wales mean to you?

Nice to host a group of Bishop Burton students yesterday afternoon/into the evening – looking at our ringing and tracking projects to help understand and inform site management and functionally linked land, and which delivery tools to use where in helping #NatureRecovery 🐦
Chalk streams are the jewels in our national heritage. Today I'm presenting a bill to require the Government to nominate chalk streams for UNESCO's Natural World Heritage Status
