European Honey Buzzard appears to have had a relatively productive breeding season in southern England, with good numbers recorded in the New Forest, Hampshire: bit.ly/47GSwJb

A screenshot from the Wild New Forest Facebook page. Key sentence: the enormity of the importance of the New Forest SSSI cannot be underestimated. Commoning underpins the ecology of the New Forest. It is a model that many lowland commons should be looking to replicate.

Thanks to our staff and other New Forest organisations, we’ve cleared up truckloads of rubbish left behind by travellers and made the area safe for forest animals. The staff time and cost of specialist waste removal diverts Forestry England’s limited resources. #CareForTheForest

We want to hear from you if you’ve been affected by changes to your tenancy or notices to quit. We are collecting evidence to help influence better policy for farmers.

The Dartmoor Review is out. Substantial changes are recommended in how Natural England approach agri-environment delivery on SSSIs. This has ramifications across all upland/marginal areas of England where multiple outcomes incl nature recovery is sought gov.uk/government/pub…

It is good that Natural England recognises the need to change how they work with the farming community to improve outcomes for nature, climate, businesses and people. I hope this refreshed approach will be implemented across England.

I've done some initial analysis of the new ELM rates🧵 If in GS6 you are delighted.... a £464 uplift If in GS2/GS5 disappointed as no change Defra figures show until 2022 ~300,000 ha in GS2 & GS5, just 26,000 ha in GS6 Nature Friendly Farming Network @suepritch Jake Fiennes James Rebanks 1/3
