"We’re treating nature as a commodity or a resource and we’re forgetting we’re part of the same system. And it’s this sense of entitlement that we can just strip it away and plunder it. It’s replicated across the country, across the globe.”

Logistically it is unfortunately rather harder to go full Julie Butterfly-Hill in a coppiced sweet chestnut than a California redwood, but it's tempting.

"Continuously wooded since at least 1600, Oaken Wood is a plantation on ancient woodland site (paws), which means it is the site of an ancient forest that has been replanted. For centuries it has been worked as a sweet chestnut coppice, with whole sections felled in rotation, allowing the stumps to regrow."

My usual view of the big pond in the allotment grounds this evening, and before-and-after pics of my friend's little allotment after I put the strimmer around. I think we can say that it's mostly "under-control" now 😅 #allotmentgardening #gardening | #kent #england
I'm pleased that the onions have naturally keeled-over, as I'm hoping this is a good sign that they are maturing properly 🤞 #allotmentgardening #allotment #gardening #onions | #kent #england

Urban Trees
"Urban trees are known to improve air quality, biodiversity and mental health. Despite this, planting in towns and cities is lagging behind need as it is
often seen as expensive and hard to establish trees in these environments. We wanted to test if new ideas could be cost-effective and yield a high survival rate.
This pilot is led by Kent County Council."

Not great pics (they were full zoom on my phone), but I was reminded yesterday on my walk to the allotments, how attractively patterned juvenile Black-headed Gulls are 😍 #birdsoftheworld #birds #gulls | #kent #england
I couldn't resist taking a series of shots of this very obliging coot this evening 😍 #birdsoftheworld #birds #coots | #kent #england
Only a quick trip to the allotment this evening, really just to check on things, but I did make a start on mulching the tomatoes with spent potting compost that I brought down from home. A pretty good set overall, I think 👍 #allotmentgardening #allotment #gardening #tomatoes | #kent #england

2am kickoff 😐 Although they were shy, I did manage to get a couple decent pics of the pigeons last Thursday. I think I should be scared of this one! 😬😅 #birdsoftheworld #birds #pigeons | #kent #england
I made a start yesterday (Saturday) on the last "out-of-control" bed at my friend's little allotment. Unfortunately, the raspberries had been almost completely choked out by brambles and bindweed. I fitted the "brush cutter" attachment to my cordless strimmer and made a careful start #allotmentgardening #gardening #allotments | #kent #england

Mum, wait for us! 😍 The small family of Mallards that I met yesterday whilst showing some friends around the allotments. The pic of the "big pond" I took late afternoon Wednesday, but forgot to post 😊 #mallards #ducks #birdsoftheworld | #kent #england
Someone really didn't want their photograph taken this evening! 😁 #feralpigeon #citypigeon #citydove #doves #pigeons | #kent #england
