Brilliant article on Bristol Post about how there’s zero chance of building on this woodland, from the folks who make these decisions, basically calling the idea silly.

Hopefully all the developers have now dropped out, I’ve certainly sent the quotes to a few other bidders who emailed me. If so we can pick the land up cheap, and use the rest of the money for the cleanup and restoration work ahead.

I cannot believe this but we’re going to hit £40,000 on the Blackswarth Road Wood today.

I am so excited. You folks are all amazing.

P.S Crowdfunder have agreed to pause the money until we win the auction, so please do go off, and it’ll all be returned if we fail. Spare change will be used for the Herculean job of cleanup, and ongoing management. #WoodlandProtection #ClimateAction #Climate #BiodiversityCrisis

I’m so excited to see our #WoodlandProtection crowdfunder is already over a third of the way to its target in just a few days. We’re trying to rescue an east Bristol woodland from further neglect and potential destruction, and we’re well on track. Still need to win the auction, funds will be returned if unsuccessful, etc but WOW is this impressive.

🌳🌎 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

Yesterday Protect Earth planted 1,000 trees in the Cotswolds, and today we planted 1,200 in Watford in this mature woodland that’s been gutted by invasive species and imported tree diseases. #biodiversity #WoodlandProtection #trees

I swung by East Wood in West Yorkshire to see the woodland @MenstonNature and a group of climate/community orgs are hoping to secure. It’s lovely in there, let me show you around. #WoodlandProtection #biodiversity #ClimateAction https://youtu.be/KlHGqLLX8cg
