It's a new year with a future for the UK's uplands worth being optimistic about. Together, we can: . 🐦Boost wildlife, habitats and communities .🌳Support landowners and farmers delivering public goods.⛰️Unlock the potential of designated landscapes.⚖️End unsustainable practices

About 70% of the UK's drinking water comes from upland catchments — so we need to make them more drought-resilient. Restoring peat bogs and clough woodlands can slow the release of water into reservoirs, playing an important part in stabilising supplies.

This is not a complicated matter. Beavers restore balance to ecosystems, bolster our defences against flooding, and strengthen resilience against drought and wildfires. To delay such action is not just shortsighted — it is profoundly irresponsible.

300,000 broadleaf trees planted on the Howgill Fells in the @Yorkshire_Dales, reviving biodiverse woodlands that once climbed the cloughs and slopes. Let's see more of this across England's uplands, where woodland like this has been lost on many moorlands.

Really looking forward to reading @MFeriaTinta’s book. One of the green movement’s biggest challenges is getting more people to engage meaningfully with nature and climate law and policy - an essential part of creating change. Hoping this important book helps bridge that gap.
