The “Wilderness Act” is a fundamental continuation of the uniquely American land ethic behind public lands protections and broader wilderness conservation activities that we all are beneficiaries. It took real vision and leadership in establishing this first of its kind conservation based policy. The “Wilderness Act” not only preserves land for the American people but ensures biodiversity of wilderness and wildlife for future generations. #publiclands #nationalparks #protectpublicland #wildernessact

Half of Texas' wetlands have been lost since the early 19th century. The Gulf of Mexico Trust is working to support research and pragmatic solutions to conserve critical coastal habitats.

TREECATION!! (Tree work + Vacation) This week, the Arbor Society addressed a stand of pine which had been afflicted by a pine borer. Our client lost about twenty trees due to this devastating pest. The bigger concern are the remaining trees left around this particular reservoir succumbing to the same fate. This community stands to lose all their pine if actions aren’t taken. We dropped info packets that includes direct information for the DIY’ers in the community since it’s very easy to protect, awareness is the key here. Our client hadn’t been to their cabin in roughly six months, they found half their trees had become unhealthy. With the hazards removed, we can now focus on saving the remaining stand and try to get the word out on how to protect against pine borers. If you have concerns about the health of your trees, give us a shout! Here’s a video of the fun we had along the way, not pictures are the trout we caught and the waterfalls we visited! https://lnkd.in/gD29zVvF #arborists #treeguy #propertymanagment #pnw #trees #treecare

Tom Opre - The Last keeper In Scotland, where picturesque landscapes mask a different reality, the historic port of Greenock on the River Clyde stands as a relic of industrial prowess. The central belt of Scotland, now home to 70% of Scots, evolved from a hub of factories and mills to a political powerhouse, overshadowing the traditional Highland way of life. Today, a fierce battle over land use rages, juxtaposing preservationists, politicians, and activists against rural communities and landowners. Central to this conflict are the sporting estates, vital for the rural economy through recreational hunting, now caught in the crossfire of policy decisions. This battle, reminiscent of class warfare and the struggle for control over land and legacy, highlights the contrasts within Scotland's borders, reflecting deep-seated class divisions and a fight for control, ultimately underscores the complex, contrasting realities of Scotland. The future of biodiversity, habitat conservation, and age-old traditions hinges on this pivotal clash, echoing a powerful call for decisive action across the glens.

How are we protecting England's seabird populations? 🪺   The Solent is an important area for seabirds and waterbirds such as terns, spoonbills and avocets. These brilliant birds need safe places to breed and raise their young.   Sadly, due to sea level rise, increasing tidal surges and disturbance, the natural shingle habitat in the Solent is in decline. This means that no terns have successfully bred in the North Solent National Nature Reserve (NNR) for several years.   That is why we've joined forces with RSPB and Blue Marine Foundation to build six shingle islands in two water bodies located on North Solent NNR, as part of the Solent Seascape Project.   The project has seen some initial success, with the first common terns to successfully breed on the site for around 20 years nesting on the raft this summer. We hope for more success next spring now that the islands have been created.   Read more about the project: https://lnkd.in/eFuPS2Mf   #Seabirds #NewForest #NorthSolentNNR #SeabirdDecline #UKCoast #RisingSeaLevels
