We did it! Planning Permission quashed. A victory to inspire all local campaign groups fighting to protect wildlife habitat. A reckless approach to planning policy has resulted in Permission being overturned @CommunityPlann1

Pretty much given up this morning and then this little one started calling. Watched him for 2 hours. 🤨 Is it unusual for a Tawny to call through the day? @Natures_Voice @ChrisGPackham @BBCSpringwatch @HannahStitfall @CarlBovisNature

Not saying the wildlife are happy about the judge revoking planning at #chidswell and #heybeck but certain members were in fine voice this lunchtime! 🦉😁 Experts - is this normal? #soundson

We won the Judicial Review overturning planning for 181 houses, saving ancient woodland and 405 species. Victory for wildlife and inspiration for other groups. Here’s what the judge said: @ChrisGPackham @ChidswellGroup @WildlifeTrusts #wildlife

Lammas (or Loaf Mass) Day on the 1 August was once considered the start of the harvest season. The feast marks the blessing of the First Fruits of harvest, with a loaf of bread being brought to the church for this purpose.

All my loyal followers, please help! 🙏 This beautiful area of countryside is a haven for wildlife, with Barn Owls, Kingfishers, Otters and much more... but it's threatened with development. 😕 Watch the video... it's the kind of place I LOVE! Please share far & wide.. 🙏❤️🐦
Less than 1 week to the Judicial Review. If permission is quashed this could set a legal precedent for other campaigns. Fundraising link in comments. Take a look at our story 👇🏻 Pls share and retweet
