UK Government still appears to be turning its back on nature - and it does not recognise boarders!
Reassurances are coming up short. Ask your MP to protect your local woods, trees and wildlife. We need answers!

Our coastal temperate #rainforests on Vancouver Island are super lush with so much #biodiversity. They are worth conserving & protecting. These forests are also full of medicines, some yet to be discovered.

Twiggy leads #Indigenous #drumming & singing healing ceremony to help us deal with the multiple day/night raids at river & landback resistance camps. This was around 2pm in afternoon. River & Landback camp crews united for ceremony before going back to our old growth defense stations. By this time, both camps had suffered multiple raids by RCMP CIRG. I had not slept in 3 days. I was taking short rest breaks on cot on bridge, in between going into hard & soft blocks, all day/night for over a week. I chained myself to the bridge for 5 days prior to this ceremony & used a bucket to pee/poop - frontlines activism is not for the weak/people who can't survive without comforts.
