I only just started this book and I fucking love it. Please read. Thank.
but no srsly, thank you for considering it. It feels like talking to a friend who Knows how fucked up your family is.
You've been away for a while, so you're shielded from the worst of their damaging tantrums, but uncompromising bare facts of the situation still sober you up somehow.
In addition to those #water #conservation programs, the #InflationReductionAct set aside hundreds of millions of dollars for projects aimed at keeping #ColoradoRiver tributaries #clean & #healthy. Conservation groups, small nonprofits, Native American tribes, & local governments were assigned federal money for a bevy of projects that included #Wildfire prevention & #HabitatRestoration.
More than 2,500 native trees have been planted in Devon this winter - the first steps towards restoring a temperate rainforest that once covered large swathes of the west coast of Britain.
I'm currently reading Guy Shrubsole's wonderful book, 'The Lost Rainforests of Britain', so I'm thrilled to learn that progress is being made restoring this ancient and very special habitat.

Environmental promises are easy to make—but does Labour’s 2024 budget back them up? We delve into farming, habitat restoration, and biodiversity recovery funding to see if it meets the challenge. Discover what it means for Protect Earth and the UK’s environmental future.

Probably about time for a new (re) #Introductions post to pin! Been bumbling around on Mastodon since November 2017 on one server or another, and happy to get cozy in a smaller server this time. 
I’m not a heavy poster, but lean mostly towards #SciCom and pictures of the #critters and #wildlife I spot in my central Florida backyard or from adventures on my #camping trips.
I’m currently a #caregiver, formerly a professional #Library knowledge ninja. Strong believer in the #RightToRepair and lifelong #Sewcialist. I love fixing and mending things.
My #NeuroSpicy flavour is #80HD, so it may be unsurprising that my academic studies and interests are hella broad. I spend a lot of time digging into local ecology and #HabitatRestoration and preservation. I’m a #space and aeronautics nerd, but I'm also a #Polyglot with an academic background in #linguistics, adult literacy, and ESL. The other part of my academic background is the technical side of theatre.
Greetings Mastodon! My name is Karin and I own Native Plants Unlimited- a very small family business in Fishers, IN, dedicated to providing wildtype native plant species to the public via retail sales. Our mission includes education, outreach, and support of community nonprofits and individuals who are committed to #sustainablelandscaping and #habitatrestoration of #wildlife #habitat with native species. #HoosierMast #nativebloomscrolling #nativeplants #hoosiernews #flowers #indiana
"As with anything, buying native plants is a buyer-beware endeavour. But with a few simple principles in mind, you can ensure you’re acquiring the best plants for your particular habitat project."

Nice summary:
“It is a nice idea really badly implemented and even more poorly communicated,” says James Archer, a parish councillor [...]. “No Mow May has now become Can’t be Arsed August,” resident John McBride writes

#HabitatRestoration thank you for sharing. I remember having been taught the two legs in elementary school, at the beginning of the 80s. This text is a very nice one, and it exists at an important time for it to be read, so thank you for sharing!

After years of study, it's rare that an article substantially shifts my perspective on climate, but this year, this one did.
Why? Because it offers the understanding of how to improve the local climate that affects our lives. Meaningful, life-changing local action, rather than lobbying global governance or drop in the ocean emissions reductions.
Hence your #HabitatRestoration makes so much sense even if/as global change accelerates

As much as I love the farm's sunny pond, it was pretty obviously a first attempt. It's in a super awkward location, small, shallow, and in pretty full sun, so keeping it wet long enough for tadpoles to turn into frogs is a challenge. The idea was always to dig 2-3 other ponds in more shaded areas, as I beat back the blackberries and make room.
Today, I started clearing and digging the first of those.
Day 8 of #30DaysWild #Nature #UK
It's #WorldOceanDay so I'm learning about a vital #marine #HabitatRestoration - seagrass meadows.
Seagrass is a saltwater flowering plant, not a seaweed. It absorbs 'blue carbon' to photosynthesise, stabilises the sea floor with its roots, and provides a nursery area for small fry & #seahorses
For saltmarsh restoration & seagrass monitoring, hat-tip to @GreenShores
More about seagrass habitat:
You lot are amazing. There was such a positive reaction to the tree sponsorship that I’ve rolled out hedgerow sponsorship too.
The farmers we work with are extremely excited to replace old nasty barbed wire fencing with wildlife corridors, and grants are hard to come by, but you can sponsor them by the meter.

This brilliant video has been released by NatureScot, and gives a great summary of the Green Shores project and our saltmarsh habitat restoration work across Scotland.
We are delighted to be part of the #NatureRestorationFund and the University of St Andrews, and are so grateful to everyone who has joined in our journey along the way.
