@IoloWilliams2 The bluebells seem late this year but they're always a joy. Sadly the planned development would go right through this part of the Common. 😭 We're challenging the deregistration but we're not experts. If anyone can help we'd love to hear from you. Thanks.
Much needed evening topping up our environmental batteries. Thanks @IoloWilliams2 . We really enjoyed. 🌿

Important update. We've been informed that a Public Inquiry will be held in order that an informed decision can be made regarding the future of the common. If you wish to speak please email [email protected] by Feb 1st. Thanks for your support. #peatland #heathland
For anyone who missed it here's a snippet of the @ITVWales coverage of our campaign. Now we prepare for a public inquiry. 😬 Wish us luck.
@openspacessoc @IoloWilliams2 @Sioned_W
Very grateful to @ITVWales for coming to cover our campaign today.🌿 Reserving the best seat in the house for tonight's programme.
Spotted this gorgeous caterpillar on the common this afternoon. Can anyone help with ID? Some kind of Tiger Moth? Fox moth? Thanks.
Water running off the common today. Imagine how much more will be displaced if the development goes ahead. Natural #flood mitigation. #naturebasedsolutions

Seeing lots of posts about this tree today. Such a senseless act of vandalism.
#protectallnature
We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.
ALT Sycamore Gap. A tree grows between two small hills on a summer's day.
