A magical art work to come across in a magical place. What wonderful things @TransitionWilms has set up to mark the 4oth anniversary of Lindow Man.

It’s happening tomorrow night. Murder, rebellion, dancing, stories, and bogs. Come to Bog Standard and hear the untold true story of how #LindowMan was saved from the shredder - by me! @britishmuseum @guardian @TransitionWilms @WendyGallagher_
Have you checked out @LindowMoss #arttrail yet? We have two short films on Transition Wilmslow YouTube. They’ll give you a flavour of amazing art trail celebrating the 40th anniversary of the finding of #lindowman
Even better, walk the trail yourself! Www.discoverlindow.org

Meet Sally, the sparrow hawk! 😊
Fun fact: it has been reported that sparrowhawks can actually hear the tiny squeaks of their prey (small birds like skylarks) even when they are hidden beneath heather.

Timeline cleanse. Around the world,
boglands have endured fluctuations and chaos for thousands of years. Misunderstood and vilified, they have protected carbon, water, and even humans in need. We need all the heroes we can get. I vote for bogs.

1/3 Given the notable insect decline across most of the UK I urge all farmers, councils & landowners to delay cutting meadows, road verges etc to at least August @BumblebeeTrust have already said numbers of queen bumbles in spring were ok. We are now all seeing a lack of workers
Great day at Wilmslow’s #repaircafe yesterday! 53 customers, 60% of all repairs successful, 290kg CO2 saved by avoiding landfill, so much delicious home made cake in the cafe, and all done by our talented volunteers! Next one Sat 2 Nov URC halls put date in your diary!

Who's been to visit the art installation at Lindow Moss?
We are loving all of the different pieces of art, each telling a different story. Which installation was your favourite and why?

Q: Why have batteries become so cheap?
A: Because many no longer need expensive minerals.
The rise of the LFP battery means 40% of all EV batteries globally (higher in China), do not contain any nickel or cobalt…

But they're disappearing fast: over 85% of the world's wetlands have already been lost.🐸
