@cerysmatthews.bsky.social great to hear you featuring Paul Wood’s book on #6music 😊 He came to #RyebankFields Manchester looking for our rare #ManchesterPoplar and wrote about our rare #AspenGrove both are under threat of development by #ManMetUni www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/features/asp...

*Sound On* Rewarded for the 3am alarm by the birdsong in the woods and then this beautiful sunrise on #InternationalDawnChorusDay Let’s make sure it’s not their last May #SaveRyebankFields

100 years ago, this rewilded urban greenfield space was claypits with only an ancient ditch, a row of magnificent Black Poplars, and a hedgerow. Please join our campaign and object to #MMU plans to build on this special beloved place #RewildingTogether www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/object-now/

Ooh which is yours @minimastersart.bsky.social? They’re all beautiful 🥹 and each square full of love and our histories and connection with the land. #Reciprocity @righttoroam.bsky.social we think you’ll understand..

The case for Heathrow expansion was commissioned by the airport themselves (ie not independent) and based on methodology the Government itself has discredited!

Beautiful #Imbolc celebration in our #Aspen Grove this evening ✨ poetry, readings and music from 🇯🇵 to 🇮🇪 The #community and #culture of Ryebank Fields are a part of why we can and do fight so hard to save them from the bulldozers. We have a relationship with this land 🤍#WildService #RightToRoam

We have more than a 100 oaks, and many of them will be a quarter of a century old this year. Will they make it to a century? Not if Manchester City Council let ManMetUni and Step Places have their way 💔 #saveryebankfields www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/features/mil...
