A major part of the debate around how we effectively tackle climate change is heading into this territory so this is a timely and important role. Optimising land use to tackle climate breakdown is critical.

“There is no question about the inequality of wealth in England. It is grosser than in any European country, and you have only to look down the nearest street to see it. Economically, England is certainly two nations, if not three or four.” Orwell in 1941 &amp; it hasn’t changed.

It’s true that

is a good insulation but it does not store carbon. The colossal scale of the insulation task facing the UK is an opportunity to store carbon in nature based insulation materials - it’s a climate opportunity we would be foolish to miss

RT by @PaulBrannenNE: This is how you plant street trees: Get the council and residents talking to each other, get the residents watering those trees, or they’ll just die. They can use washing up water or whatever chemical safe water is going spare to reduce bills/waste. https://harrowonline.org/2023/10/08/hundreds-of-new-trees-planted-in-harrow-as-residents-and-council-unite/

Happy to share with you the view from my favourite pub in my home city of Nu'castle.
If you have never been to the Free Trade Inn go there directly, do not pass Go, do not collect £200.

Land is a limited resource &amp; we need to best deploy it to tackle climate breakdown &amp; biodiversity loss. This seems a key role to me in that journey presumably covering the emerging potential game changer of agroforestry.

Sorry to hear this news
https://nitter.cz/BainbridgeFarms
. Earlier this year Wales got close to an agreement to push for 10% trees on farms.
https://nitter.cz/Agroforestry
will be pushing for this at an EU level. It makes so much climate &amp; biodiversity sense. Can

RT by @PaulBrannenNE: Before his U-turn @RishiSunak seemed a fairly honest bloke doing a hard job. But his conf speech was not only counterproductive and damaging to clean tech, it was also grubbily mendacious to suggest ordinary people would benefit from his changes - they won't. Shame on him.
