Recently relocated to a small holding above Eglwysbach with views of Eryri 🏔. Looking forward to operating ecology and conservation projects from here. Will be restoring this pond 🐸 dominated by invasive plants 🌱 , likely with help from our heavy horses 🐎 and seeking opportunities for Conwy Valley
Wow: looking up a couple of visits to France, and to tie-in these with a Sat morning @parkrun appalled to learn the French gov have introduced legislation that anyone taking part in a fun run has to submit a medical report first. Bureaucracy at its worst!

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

An infographic detailing facts about the impacts of invasive alien species from the IPBES Invasive Alien Species Report. The infographic also depicts images of various different invasive alien species such as the grey squirrel, alexandrine parakeet and red fox.
Invasive alien species are a threat to #nature, nature’s contributions to people, and good quality of life.
