Got caught in the rain while scouting a walk on Pencoed footpath 41 near the underground reservoir on Cefn Hirgoed/Coity Wallia common land. Dramatic views and a smidgeon of blue sky over Hoel-y-Cyw 💚🥾🥾 #HoelyCyw #Pencoed #CoityWallia #OpenAccessLand #CommonLand #Walking #RightsOfWay #Wales #Cerdded #Cymru #DysguCymraeg

I'll be a bit sad if this happens... 🐮

And I'd probably even miss the challenge of cycling through the herd or dodging cow pats!

Cambridge could lose city centre cows if council cuts out-of-hours rescue service

Ancient grazing rights for the famed cattle are at risk in budget rethink

The Guardian

📖 There was a gap in knowledge about the historical relationship between #colonialism and common property in the Portuguese case.

Joana Dias Pereira tries to fill this gap in this article published in the journal #AfricanStudies, where she "focuses on the debates surrounding the ‘indigenous’ common property regime among the political and academic elites and its historical evolution".

Community greens (Ecology 🏞️)

Community Greens, sometimes referred to as backyard commons, urban commons, or pocket neighborhoods, are shared open green spaces on the inside of city blocks, created either when residents merge backyard space or reclaim underutilized urban land such as vacant lots and alleyways.

As the cattle are back on Midsummer Common in Cambridge, a reminder to dog walkers:

"Dogs should not be allowed to ‘worry’ livestock. This means owners must prevent dogs from attacking [or] chasing livestock" https://www.bluecross.org.uk/advice/dog/wellbeing-and-care/dog-laws-uk

Dog laws UK | Blue Cross

There are over 20 pieces of legislation that apply to dog ownership in Britain including laws around dogs in cars, dog barking laws and dog breeding laws. Read on to find out more.

Blue Cross
Fuel Land Allotments, East Finchley. When Finchley Common was enclosed in the early 19th century, it was for the benefit of the large landowners. This small parcel of land was set aside, however, to rent to local farmers, and the money raised would be paid to the deserving poor for their winter fuel. By the end of the century the land had become an allotment garden (but what happened to the poor?)




Anyway, these gates, on the A1000 Great North Road, must be among the most stylish allotment gates in the country.

Fascinating week in Transylvania. Many things in common with UK common grazing systems but: more land, apex predators & dogs (as guards) - much less people pressure

I've been absorbed in #crowscommoms my project with @Brynn to transition 12 acres of private land into #commonland .

The spaces that we aim to build will be #collectivelyowned and center #care and #disability

The #commoning house will include art studios, a #communitykitchen , an accessible bathroom, and dining. Connected to a network of "sleeping houses" which are spacious wood stove heated "cottages" with a bed + bath.
