And there is a much wider significance, for me at least. What are the drivers for the #NatureEmergency & #ClimateEmergency? What structures & systems can we imagine & build that address these drivers?
Hence my interest in #WoodMeadows, #ForestGarden, #commons, #colonialism, #capitalism and #fascism. They are linked.

@pvonhellermannn we've had major wildfires in Wales, I've been watering plants in pots in March
"The number of wildfires in Wales already this spring has been "extraordinary", a senior firefighter has said. So far this spring Mid and West Wales Fire Service has dealt with almost 700 fires this year compared to 100 in the same period last year.."
This is ecological and cultural vandalism.
The UK's preeminent 31 year old #ForestGarden is threatened with destruction by the landlords Dartington Hall Trust.
We need models and sites for the study of sustainable living. Please support the life's work of Martin Crawford by signging the petition and writing to the trustees.

Watershed Investigations, the Marine Conservation Society and the Guardian obtained official data on more than 1,000 animals to reveal widespread contamination by a range of PFAS, particularly PFOS and PFOA, which have been studied the longest and found to be toxic, and are now banned. However, there are more than 10,000 types of PFAS and little is known about the toxic effects of most of them.
