I believe that the vast majority of people in this country are good and generous and honest and fair – and whether they are Democrats or Republicans or independents, they want those values reflected in their politics. That’s what we’ll get with @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz – two leaders who will work every day to make your lives better.

Our @ypp_peat team were at Askham Bog this week helping to map areas of deep peat - some is over 4m! The peat depth rods were also handy for retrieving a balloon *sigh* from a tree. Inevitably they got distracted by sphagnum, who would've thought? 😆 1/2

The internet is one big stress today with so many of us demonstrating loss of connection to each other, to humanity and what’s real. Here’s a wee moment of respite. Try to reconnect with nature today. 😌🌎💚
