Insane this isn’t a bigger global story. Climate change is causing glacier collapse in the Alps. The Swiss town of Blatten was destroyed yesterday. The few buildings that survived the 3.5 million cubic metres of landslide are now slowly drowning as the collapsed mountain damns the river. (🎥 AFP)

Beautiful #TombTuesday (PS explore books from the @longbarrowpress.bsky.social if you want gifts for others or yourself, they are things of beauty: #Poetry)

This is a really useful thread with valuable examples of differences in service. For those that can't feedback via the trove feedback form I will be screenshot posts and feeding them back to the Trove team. To help find them it would be useful if posts contained the word Trove. Thanks.

#PeatSky - This is cool, @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social bought a mountain and are working towards #peatland restoration & nature reserve creation at #SkiddawForest. They’re getting close to their target and could gain valuable extra £ through match-funding of any pennies sent their way this month 👇

Sad not to have been in attendance for #IronAgeDialogues this week. Line up, programme & feedback looked fantastic. But grateful to those sharing updates using the hash-tag, meaning the rest of us could occasionally peek in from afar. (Especially @emmatollefsen.bsky.social - sterling effort! 🙏)

I love this so much, Alison! What a brilliant way to engage people, could work well at certain types of themed conferences (archaeological or otherwise) or a fab as an activity with younger audiences. It has given me itchy fingers to have a play myself…

Spot on. I don’t really ‘love’ nature, as though it was something separate or just pretty to look at - it’s more that I know and feel that I’m part of it, part of the *real* world.

Do you use Historic Environment Scotland's data? If so you need to know that Canmore is being retired this June. Trove (www.trove.scot) is replacing it and is now online in beta. Please try it out and feedback your comments here: haveyoursay.historicenvironment.scot/heritage/470...

BREAKING: DEFRA asks England’s biggest landowners to come up with plans to restore nature. The new National Estate for Nature is a bold move by Labour, summoning landowners who own a tenth of the country to report on their stewardship. With comment from me: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
