75 years ago the creation of National Parks was a radical health act, a people’s charter to provide access to green space and fresh air. Read our Director’s recent article setting out why we must ensure National Parks live up to that vision and play a bigger role in improving health. 💚

Your regular reminder that you can look up how much public subsidy each farmer gets annually here. cap-payments.defra.gov.uk/SearchResult... For example in 2023 Jeremy Clarkson got £83,000 and in 2022 he got £133,000. Nice work if you can get it. @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
