Insurance firm @Aviva has announced the purchase of a large grouse moor in order to restore it for nature, climate and people. The 6,300 hectare site will be regenerated to provide homes for wildlife and carbon capture in peatlands and native woodland. avivainvestors.com/en-gb/abo…

What a privilege to see the #RuislipWoodlandCentre that we worked on opened by @HillingdonMayor. I hope people enjoy finding out more about the ancient woodlands around #RuislipLido. Congrats to @RuislipWoods. #interpretation #visitorcentre #exhibition #woodland #futureexplorers
Great to open the refurbished Woodland Centre at the Ruislip Lido. What a great venue in the borough. #hillingdon
Thanks @cabotinstitute for demystifying what happens at the COPs and what to expect from #COP26Glasgow Fingers crossed that our global leaders are as engaging and informed as the panel in tonight's lecture! #hopeforthefuture

This was the official opening of Ruislip Woodland Centre. A lovely project to have worked on. #interpretation #exhibits #naturalhistory #ancientwoodland
On Friday @HillingdonMayor and Cllr Eddie Lavery opened the newly-refurbished Woodland Centre at Ruislip Woods. The project was organised by @RuislipWoods and funded by the council, @GrundonRecycle and the Heritage Lottery. Be sure to pay it a visit before you explore the woods.
The top UK museum experiences for kids (as voted for by readers of the Guardian) has some great ones on the list, including a couple that I still remember from 35 or so years ago among some shiny new ones. Might have to plan a post-covid road trip. theguardian.com/travel/2021/…

Congratulations @DyfiOspreys on the first ten years of hugely successful breeding in Wales @CorsDyfiReserve @MontWildlife
Exactly 10 years ago today, the first chick was born on the Dyfi in almost 400 years! Einion hatched ahead of his brother, Dulas, despite being in the 2nd egg. Here's a short clip from that moment. @DyfiOspreys youtu.be/UD5mfdEwHaE
