Important survey by Butterfly Conservation 🦋 - take part this weekend! Also RSPB Hope Farm is an intensive and productive arable farm - but with simple interventions for nature integrated. It's not food OR nature. It's both. And it works. For both.

Just returned from Lancaster where all Alasdair McKee's hard work on behalf of the RSPB RSPB has paid off. He and @MelissaBateson unveil the Emily Williamson plaque at the entrance to the park opposite where Emily was born. And here's Melissa at the birthplace.

My Justgiving page has closed. A £355 anonymous donation was made yesterday to ensure I hit my £5k target. With Gift Aid added that means just under £3k for statue, £3k for the reserves I visited. Thankyou to them and all donors. JustGiving #JustGiving justgiving.com/page/andrewsim…

I am really looking forward to speaking at this event. I'll be talking about how to successfully commission a public sculpture.

Eve Shepherd discussed the impact of public sculpture when it is accepted by the community, giving people a sense of belonging and they feel it is a part of their lives so the public want to protect it which enhances its longevity

If you're local to Manchester, love radical women's history and a cup of tea, you'll want to join me at the Mechanics Institute (birthplace of the TUC) for a celebration of the incredible Shena Simon, a pioneer of women's rights, education & housing. eventbrite.co.uk/e/trailblazers…
