Short, sharp reality check from Professor . Hard to argue with the evidence. We need ministers and interest groups questioned more robustly on this in media interviews. And of course needs its legal mission updated to include climate.

Conversation with a farmer friend. So much anger. So much frustration. "For decades we were told. Produce. Produce. Produce". Productivity was everything. The only reason we still have biodiversity is our land here is too poor to destroy with inputs. We couldn't afford them...

Yay for natural woodland,
Yay for tree planting,
Yay for the example of Sitka, one tree not to plant as it's a bit like the Japanese Knotwood of the tree world.

Entering a competition like the YEA gives students a framework and timeline to take environmental action and develop and practice a huge range of key skills. It also gives added motivation to make change. The students work so hard and are always proud of what they achieve 🫶🌍
