Dear men of the world, I wrote this because I know too many men who still think it’s weird to have conversations with each other about how we feel. It isn’t weird or weak, it is stronger and better to be open and talk. We are all going through something. www.wildway.info/p/how-garden...

“Since 2010, enrolment in arts GCSEs has fallen by 40% and the number of arts teachers has declined by 23%” www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Snowdrop on my desk 🌱

I’ll be sending the next Wild Way tomorrow rather than today - been a bit of a hectic day with work 🌱

Enforcing the law on hunting crime is a nail in the coffin for illegal activity and a better future for the countryside without this vile blood sport

The world is capable of solving equality, poverty, hunger, climate change, nature loss, future pandemics and more in a matter of months. And yet we allow the leaders and billionaires to waste everyone’s time on pointless or harmful distractions. Is humanity actually capable of organising itself?

I coppiced these hazels two winters ago, and with two summer’s regrowth they are fantastic multistems already well above head height, and I’m 180cm! Find out more about our permaculture production in the latest WildWay.info newsletter 💞🌱

If you could start your garden from scratch, what would you change?

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well.

Seems like Donald Trump is willing to sacrifice the whole of Europe including the UK to make money

Looking almost like an inorganic object, like twisting green plastic emerging from the earth, this mutated green earth tongue, Microglossum viride, is probably the most unique earth tongue I've discovered. Green earth tongues alone are super cool to find, but this one takes the cake! 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🟢 🍄 📷

Government has announced a 12 wk consultation for their land use framework, a review of all UK land to make informed decisions for nature and development. Read here: www.gov.uk/government/n... I've been calling for this since the last Government and welcome it www.jackwallington.com/why-the-uk-n...

Absolutely heartbreaking. Humanity should be focussed on making machines to help wildlife in situations like this, not war machines and weapons that kill, not excess rockets to populate the moon. What is wrong with the people who have the money. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Think solar farms are bad for nature? Think again. Those designed for nature in East Anglia are teeming with birdlife - including threatened species. A new study reveals why. ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

What is this trend in London hotels where the bathroom is just a pane of glass, so you’re basically paying to stay in a toilet?

I'm trying to decide on some new gooseberries to grow and would like to add only sweet from the plant dessert types. I have a short list but wondered if any of you knew some for certain as sweet to pick and eat?
