Fascinating trip today with the @arts_zk group I’m working with to @NWfilmarchive - from the digitalisation room to the chilly temperature controlled vaults. Lots of inspiration for the oral history & sound art piece we’ll be crafting together.

What's happening down there? In our latest episode we delve into the fascinating world of grassland #fungi with @nationaltrust expert Steve Hindle to discuss extra-ordinary interconnectedness, ancient niches, carbon storage, & Calderdale's globally important sites. @Love_plants

Nature Tripping's latest episode is a celebration of the curlew, a look at how breeding populations are hanging on in the South Pennines, and how a local restoration project @BRewilded is gonna help. Listen to them (curlews!) from your favourite podcast player @CurlewLIFE @_BTO

Ultra-processed food? 🥔🥔

Cut, cut, cut cut. The water companies can regulate themselves. Oops. Shit. Recruit, recruit, recruit, recruit. Oh the painful and eternal cycle of life as an environmentalist in the public sector.....

Field trips to estuaries and moors, & a collaboration with @sue_walpole & @johnvhbonner brings a 'Salon of Curlews' to @ioutheatre, Halifax, ioutheatre.org/events/cultur…. A room of light, shadow, sound, sculpture and love for curlews, their companions and their habitats. @CurlewLIFE

Civil Twilight and things are stirring in the park. Started with a lone robin, the rooks, an owl and a wood pigeon. Now all the birds are joining in.

If you'd like to chill out to a limpet slowly munching its way across a rock the latest instalment of Nature Tripping could be for you. We give humans a break and spend some time instead listening to other life and the elements. Available from your favourite podcast platform.
