GIVEAWAY!!.. I've got 2 A3 whale prints which weren't covered up properly so have gone slightly discoloured around the edge. I wouldn't be able to sell them on my shop so I'm going to give one away on here and the other one over on Instagram. Just retweet by Wednesday 12pm

I haven't given up on the artwork. I've just been working on a few things that I haven't been able to post for various reasons. So, here's one done for someone's birthday - Treecreepers & Nuthatches - not a #hiddengems one! #birds #art #nature

Interesting new research by @PlymUni has shown that being able to see #greenspaces from your home is linked with reduced cravings for alcohol, cigarettes and harmful foods. Could exposure to #bluespaces show similar results? https://t.co/8HZcDhby3p

Interesting research by @DrPaulBrindley @IWUNproject @LandscapeSheff showing #socialmedia data not a good proxy for #greenspace quality ground measures! Have a read @UWE_SPE @UWEBristol @DanniSinnett @PaN_BES!
Our latest (open access) paper addresses two aspects: (1) is greenspace cleanliness associated with improved general health and (2) can data from social media help measure greenspace quality? https://t.co/haJegeyxUV

We simply asked 'what do "actual" people want from their environments?' This took us into new theoretical terrain, that was worked into a real-world focused method then deployed and revised with interesting results- it's great to see it in print!

Our latest paper on nature experiences & conservation support. Greenspace use (but not proximity) increased conservation support via 3 pathways: sadness about env change (as theorized by extinction of experience) & also wellbeing+social interactions https://t.co/XQJFo9CC29
