Damien Gayle lays the facts out in his hard-hitting piece in today's Guardian. We will NOT lose this tree! Please do sign the petition on Change. org, diolch, tks #savedarwinoak theguardian.com/science/2023…
What can you say about this incredible man?
Like many who knew Nev Fay we are totally shocked that the 'Tree world' has lost one of the world's best #treeprofessors
Nev was a genius in his numerous areas of expertise, a mentor to many and a mate God Bless you Nev

In exquisite timing, local river guardians discovered two significant sewage discharges on the Roding today. The quantity & volume was so big that they were visibly polluting the river (& likely poisoning aquatic life) for hundreds of metres downstream.
Even worse, this stretch of the River at Wanstead Park is one of the most popular natural swimming & paddling spots in East London that will be very busy during the heatwave this week. This deluge of sewage is putting people’s lives (particularly paddling children) at risk. Perhaps @thameswater could use some of the million pound bonus they gave out to stop the sewage & warn local people instead?
Replying to @thameswater
@thameswater recently told me that due to “fiscal constraints”, they can’t afford to fix all of the illegal outfalls on the River Roding by 2030 (already a more than fair deadline in the circumstances I feel).
This single one million pound payment to their finance chief would, alone, be enough to stop a billion litres of raw sewage a year entering the river in Ilford. Which other companies do we allow to commit serious crimes because they’ve taken money that should have been used to ensure their company complies with the law & given it to their execs instead? How long until the government says “no more” to these chancers & puts Thames Water out of its misery?

Come on @MatthewOates76 and the Purple Emperor brigade – our Imperial Majesty requires your URGENT help, by voting here: britainsfavouritebutterfly.c… The Emperor simply cannot finish 14th. Mediocrity will not be tolerated.
A Conservation Area provides less protection for the INTERNATIONALLY IMPORTANT #MotherBramleyAppleTree.
A TPO WILL strengthen its protection. @NSDCouncil do it now!
The world famous tree has massive AMENITY VALUE, biodiversity and heritage value. @itn_news

The badger staggered his way around the London Marathon (slowly, 5:14) but what a wonderful experience – the positivity and kindness of the crowds was amazing! Pure joy; a privilege to take part. Thank you everyone for your support for Norfolk Wildlife Trust and the badger!
So sorry 2 hear sad news of Andy Kershaw's passing.
Andy was a multi-talented journalist/presenter/DJ
He also had a GSOH. Andy reported on the @SaveSheffTrees campaign in 2017 when we'd organised a community street tree art day to honour the local fallen soldiers of the Great War
Let's hope the full force of the law falls upon you @GroundControlGC

So lovely to see a little girl with her mum earlier taking time to read everyone's messages around Chester's trunk. And hear her saying "Bye Chester!" after spending a little time under this often overlooked tree.🥰
Children know what's important.🌳❤ #SaveChester #NoticeThisTree
