@CPRESussex Aren’t hedgerows such wonderful things? Here in South Yorkshire we have splendid autumn displays of hawthorn berries, (does anyone still eat these?) The huge response to the @CPRE petition suggests we all love our hedgerows to bits: https://takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/85848/petition/1?ea.tracking.id=cpre-web&_ga=2.176670821.1300974408.1626695575-641830971.1611328783

@CPRE Hedgerows and trees heralding this morning’s sunrise - and the Environment Bill. The Environment Bill is the most significant piece of environmental legislation for years, and the route to the legally binding targets desperately needed to reverse nature's decline.
Good morning! 🌅
Have you noticed the beautiful autumn mists on your morning walk?
Whether through forest, moorland or your local green space, we'd love to see your photos. 📸
We welcome @MichaelGove as the new housing secretary at this watershed moment for planning.
With his experience as environment secretary, we hope and expect him to champion local communities, nature and climate as his department drafts the new Planning Bill. 1/2

Why are our peatlands so important?
Peat bogs help tackle the climate emergency, control flooding and provide a home for wildlife.
This is a brilliant read on what's going on in Yorkshire to restore peatland, from @RobynVinter 💚
For peat‘s sake: the race is on to save Britain‘s disappearing moorland bogs
Finally recognised for its environmenal benefits, the UK‘s âCinderella habitat‘ is at the heart of a major conservation drive
