  1. Natural forest regrowth offers a lower-cost path to climate and #biodiversity goals

    Excerpt: "As nations race to restore #ecosystems and curb #ClimateChange, research has shown that letting nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution. A study from the University of Queensland and the University of Newcastle found that natural forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional #TreePlanting programs. The work is published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.

    "School of the Environment Ph.D. candidate Jiaqi Li said the team mapped how the costs and benefits of natural regeneration varied across the tropics.

    " 'Nature is a great gardener. Sometimes we just need to get out of its way while providing a bit of support,' Li said.

    " 'For tree planting, you need to purchase seeds and hire workers or recruit volunteers to plant and manage them, which is costly.

    " 'For natural regeneration, people just need to check the land for #InvasiveSpecies and remove them, make sure there are adequate seed sources, provide protection from fire, #GrazingAnimals and humans, and then it is mostly self-sufficient.

    " 'In many cases of natural regeneration, studies show that you can end up with a forest that could store more carbon and is more #biodiverse than a planted forest.' "

  6. If you're ever looking to get anything printed nicely can I recommend Footprint Workers Co-op as one of the most ethical #printers you'll find in the UK? 👣

    Based in #Leeds and serving all of the #UK they can do your #fliers, #posters, #zines, CD & record #sleeves, #stickers, business cards, and loads more. 🖨️

    You can find out a little more about them on my website which also links through to them: ethicalrevolution.co.uk/footpr

    ⛔ Although if you're looking to print anything discriminatory or oppressive they'll refuse you. 😊

  7. In addition to our little grove at Glen Affric, with Trees For Life, we are now looking at planting trees at our former local hill Dumyat and the wider Menstrie valley. What a fantastic opportunity to be able to contribute to the rewilding of the area we love so much! This in cooperation with The Future Forest Company. #rewilding #treeplanting #PlantingTrees #GlenAffric #dumyat #menstrie #stirling #scotland #treesforlife #thefutureforestcompany
