Save the date! Run wild with the Salmon 20 September on the Exe linking communities for love of our river #salmonrun more info on how to take part in relay, ultra and 5km with our partners ParkRun coming soon!

Please do check out this short course in June I'm teaching with Lucy Neal & Ruth Ben-Tovim at beautiful Hawkwood www.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk/our-programm...

Hard to describe feeling of satisfaction of being a river guardian seeing a sand martin nesting hole you campaigned to be installed being used for 1st time This morning I witnessed a sand martin couple moving into their new build, affordable nest in the heart of Barking, & I couldn’t be more proud!

Did anyone say #ClimateEmergency, or #CarbonBubble, or just detachment from economic reality? #LutonAirport www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), abolitionist, women's rights advocate, who chose to be photographed with her knitting. As an enslaved person, she had knitted/spun endlessly and when free later in life, she taught knitting to former enslaved women aiding self-sufficiency #womensart

I'm a researcher primarily in adaptation. We are not even adapted to where the climate is today. If you think you can seawall your way through a 4°C planet, you are straight up dreaming. Mitigation AND adaptation, or you end up with way more of option 3 for dealing with climate change: suffering.

International Women's Day + at 7 – 8pm The Sea In Me by AMC(pre-recorded gem)their words not mine!The show takes inspiration from scientist, writer & activist Rachel Carson, includes female creatives,researchers & scientists from the South West.

loved working with Friends of the River Exe @exeter.ac.uk @elflaw.bsky.social law students and other students delivering a moving, playful, heartfelt and curious hands-on workshop exploring the rights of river beings and considering how we can care for them in our law and our culture

Tickets are now on sale for the Museum of London Docklands' highly anticipated exhibition 'Secrets of the Thames: Mudlarking London's Lost Treasures', which opens in just over a month's time buff.ly/4hVUNVP

Exeter Phoenix is screening three films celebrating rivers & the people who protect them on Tuesday. There's a Q&A with a filmmaker, and Jo from @tidelines.bsky.social will highlight the importance of the arts and film in engaging people in caring for nature. exeterphoenix.org.uk/events/the-b...

We are having our Salmon Run review and planning day tomorrow with our fab team: Westcountry Rivers Trust, Wild Running @sarahfinch.bsky.social - look forward to sharing plans and dates soon. Running for the love of our river and the wild community! 🐟

Come and help plant trees in an important area for spawning and juvenile salmon, this Sunday 9 Feb. The lack of tree cover leaves the fish vulnerable. @tidelines.bsky.social and West Country Rivers Trust will be planting pockets of trees alongside the river – and they need your help!

we are planting trees for young salmon with Westcountry Rivers Trust this weekend in a beautiful location on Exmoor - want to join us?(bring your boots!)🎏 wrt.org.uk/event/exmoor...

Trumpian turn by Starmer. The fact that so many legal challenges succeed shows that the courts agree with them. As @ruthtingay.bsky.social says, “economic growth based on environmental and climate degradation is a loser’s game.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just plugging my other project Walking Forest www.walkingforest.co.uk women - activism - trees. We have been invited to speak to Plymouth Tree People on 3 Feb, 6pm - free, all welcome! plymouthtrees.org/news/evening...

When you think a policy is buried forever there's always the chance that a politician will raise the dead in blinkered and misguided pursuit of economic growth. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Vital reading for the government with its current obsession with growth at all costs (growth of what and for whom is never spelt out). A commitment to restore nature was conspicuous by its absence from PM’s Plan for Change, launched last month - that urgently needs to change 👇

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️

Arts and Culture East Devon have posted scores from last year's Overwintering on their website for all to access. Celebrating the darker months & migratory & other birds on the Exe estuary through sound, silence, song and word. www.aced.org.uk/news/2024/11... Our blog is tidelines.uk/blog/overwin...

As 2024 drew to a close, we surveyed salmon redds in the upper reaches of the Exe. In 2025 we will continue creating ways to bring people together to celebrate and care for our river and estuary. Happy new year to our collaborators, and all residents of the Exe, human and other-than-human.

All the evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We are new to Bluesky, welcome to our first followers! We just put out a newsletter, you can read it here shorturl.at/Y2WFT

Have you noticed the Exe estuary is alive with winter birds? Most audibly the whistling Wigeon. Our Overwintering project with local artists co-created music based on listening to birds in the estuary. Find scores available for anyone to use at tidelines.uk/blog/overwin... 📷 Jo Salter

Our famous Salmon icon took part in the March for Clean Water in November. No river in England or Northern Ireland is in good overall health. We joined river creatures and human friends from across the country protesting about the state of our rivers and seas. #MarchForCleanWater

We are committed to developing a culture of care for the Exe and coast and her multi-species communities working with scientists, researchers, people who live and work with the estuary and sea here and elsewhere
