If you’re out and about tonight, there is a really good chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Find clear skies and look north :-)

In the interests of clarity, here’s our summary of concerns and actions on the important issue of Windermere water quality. – at Kendal, England
Lake District (@lakedistrictnpa) profile pictureLake District@lakedistrictnpa18 Aug 2022
What’s happening in Windermere? A thread 👇 England’s largest lake is changing. More extreme weather caused by climate change, an excess of nutrients and seasonal variations of the tourist population are putting the lake and its water quality under pressure.
