🌳🌎 Halting deforestation needs to happen at home and worldwide.

It's amazing to see the Brazilian government cracking down on illegal logging and mining, and it's brilliant that the EU legislation is cited as one of the contributing factors. People said that was all a waste of time but it’s helped with a massive 60-70% reduction in deforestation in the Amazon.

My charity is attempting to buy a piece of woodland in east Bristol and I need you all to come out in support. We all see stories of 200 acres or 2000 acres of community buyout, but this 5 acres is in the middle of a major city, and it’s just as important as something far bigger out in the countryside. Please read this description, and help me save a tiny important fragment of amazing woodland. #BiodiversityCrisis #WoodlandProtection #Rewilding #TreeProtection https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-blackswarth-road-wood-crews-hole

I’m on guard duty this evening, because god knows who’s trying to come through in the middle of the night and cut things down as they’ve done in Plymouth recently.

If you know where I’m talking about feel free to swing by with a cider.

Today was 'putting the citruses to bed' day. Six oranges, finger limes and Meyer lemons are now in the greenhouse, three more large lemons have been sewn into hessian. I've also wrapped the trunks of all the young trees in the orchard-to-be against sun scald. This isn't good for the trees as the sun warms up the bark and tricks the tree into thinking it should come out of dormancy, only to be followed by extreme frosts. #wintergarden #citruses #treeprotection #sunscald
