β€˜Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

Ecologists’ horror as nature reserves around the world are emptied of insects - with rising temperatures joining habitat destruction as likely causes:

The view this morning from my sleeper berth on the Caledonian Sleeper. Somewhere north of Carstairs Junction I believe.

A growing woodland 30 years after planting. Wild pear, blackthorn and wild cherry in blossom. Small-leaved lime, whitebeam and field maple leafing. Hybrid larch towering.

Makes me feel a little old (!), but great to see a woodland I designed and planted 30 years ago really coming into its own. Wild pear, blackthorn and wild cherry in blossom. Small-leaved lime, whitebeam and field maple leafing. Hybrid larch towering. #forestry #woodland #trees #landscape

A huge thanks to @nationaltrust.org.uk supporting my book research for The Forest Guides England and Wales, published with @chiffchat.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social I recently visited Ebworth in the Cotswolds, donating a signed copy of the Wales edition for its new Woodland Library.

Honoured to have delivered The Osmond Lecture at King’s Ely school today. Hopefully inspired some bright minds to consider forestry - the noblest of professions - as a career. Even if not, to embrace nature in all they do in future.

Also to meet England’s oldest plane tree (1674).
