‘Doves and food and fun’: the fight to save a farming pioneer
by Patrick Barkham on June 30, 2026 at 10:00 am
Wakelyns needs £1.2m to save its diverse organic crops and ‘micro’ enterprises including a bakery and honeybee hivesThe aerial view of Wakelyns matches the experience of visiting it at ground level: in a region dominated by prairie fields of industrial agriculture, here lies a vivid green lung of land. Its sounds and sights in summer – the sleepy purr of the turtle dove, the vivid pink flash of a bullfinch – have vanished from most of the British countryside.But Wakelyns is not a nature reserve – it is a thriving farm, a “living laboratory” for agroforestry and a hub for innovation and business. It is also under threat, and its owners must raise £1.2m to turn it into a charitable community benefit society. Continue reading…

Young country diary: Our outdoor learning highlight – making a den in the woods
on June 27, 2026 at 10:00 am
Edinburgh: As we are visually impaired, we love to appreciate the sounds and smell of the woodland. This time it had been raining, so we could smell the wet groundOur school, the Royal Blind school, Sight Scotland, is across the road from the Astley Ainslie hospital. The hospital gardens are open to the public and have over 2,000 trees, and sometimes we go to there for outdoor learning lessons with Margon, who helps us learn about the outdoors.Recently we went to a wooded area to make a den for shelter. We could see lots of green everywhere. It had been raining but we could feel the warm sun and smell the wet ground, which was spongy and soft under our feet. It had been windy and there were twigs and leaves on the ground. We found a tree with textured bark that felt like veins. Margon told us that the bits we could feel were old ivy vines. We could hear lots of birds and feel the breeze and hear it rustling the leaves. Continue reading…

Death of the Major oak should spur tree protection | Letter
by Guardian Staff on June 26, 2026 at 4:10 pm
Prof Rebecca Clifford outlines step we might take towards a fitting memorial for this remarkable treeI’m sure people throughout the country, and indeed the world, have been greatly saddened to learn of the death of Sherwood Forest’s Major oak (‘Most famous tree in the world’: Sherwood Forest’s 1,000-year-old Major oak dies, 18 June). There are steps we might take collectively towards a fitting memorial for this remarkable tree.First, we need to insist that our trees are given proper legal protection. The Guardian reported last year that the government has commissioned a report on this topic. One fitting memorial to the Major oak would be to contact your MP and urge them to further this issue urgently. Continue reading…

Italy’s Forest Cover is Larger Than Agriculture Land for the First Time Since the Middle Ages
by Andy Corbley on June 26, 2026 at 11:00 am
For the first time since the Middle Ages, Italy has more woodland than agricultural land. Forests now stretch across 60,000 square miles of the Italian Peninsula, overly concentrated in mountain areas, but which nevertheless represent the gradual reversion of cultivated land to woodland again. The milestone was officially hit in 2020, but only revealed this The post Italy’s Forest Cover is Larger Than Agriculture Land for the First Time Since the Middle Ages appeared first on Good News Network.

‘Instant connection to the past’: how the Major oak affected those who saw it

Readers remember the Sherwood Forest tree that has failed to produce leaves for the first time in 1,000 yearsAfter hundreds of years inspiring wonder in Sherwood Forest, the Major oak has died. We asked readers to share their memories of one of the UK’s most recognisable natural landmarks, said to have offered a sanctuary for Robin Hood, and the response was overwhelming, with many sharing heartfelt stories of childhood adventures.Joanna de Graaf from Leicestershire wrote: “I grew up in Nottingham and we visited Sherwood Forest quite often as a family. I can remember being so excited to actually be inside the Major oak where Robin Hood and his merry men had hidden (and, for a little girl in the 1960s, Maid Marian too). Continue reading…

Hidden bird species discovered in Japan after DNA reveals a stunning secret
on June 23, 2026 at 2:13 pm
A bird long thought to be a single rare species in Japan has turned out to be two. Scientists discovered that the elusive Ijima’s Leaf Warbler and a newly identified Tokara Leaf Warbler look almost identical, but their DNA and songs reveal they are distinct species. The finding marks Japan’s first new bird species discovery in more than 40 years and highlights how modern genetic tools are uncovering hidden biodiversity that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Country diary: Birds of a feather in a noisy argument | Mary Montague
by Mary Montague on June 23, 2026 at 4:30 am
Queen’s University, Belfast: The corvids in the branches above me spring a surprise – there’s a black crow among themThe rain hurries me to shelter at the woods’ edge, but I’m scarcely under the branches of a mature sycamore when the canopy starts to thrash. Abrasive voices erupt from the foliage as a rabble of crows dispute. One leaps into a gap between the leaves, crouching, its ash-grey body low over a branch and fanning its black tail. The throat inflates to bray the bird’s anger. In response, the object of its fury hops on to the branch above it, all the while giving as good as it gets. Something niggles me about that one – I squint, then blink in surprise. It’s a black crow.As a bookish youngster growing up in rural County Fermanagh, it took a while for me to grasp that the crows I encountered in real life were not, in fact, black. The hooded or grey crow is the common crow across all of Ireland. With its two-tone livery of grey torso and black extremities, it’s a handsome bird. The “hoodie” is also found in the north of Scotland. The closely related all-black carrion crow is a far more familiar sight throughout the rest of Britain, with sparse numbers along the east coast of Northern Ireland. Continue reading…
A thousand years old and 20 storeys high: tracking down Taiwan’s tallest trees
by Rebecca Ratcliffe. Photographs by Steven Pearce on June 23, 2026 at 4:00 am
The island’s biggest tree – named Heaven Sword of the Da’an River – is a carbon-storing behemoth hosting whole neighbourhoods of wildlife. But this and other giant trees are under threatThe higher you climb up the gigantic, millennia-old trees of Taiwan’s forests, the more layers of habitat and life emerge. On the forest floor, ferns thrive in the moist shade. Flying squirrels and owls sleep inside the hollow tree trunks. Yellow bell-shaped rhododendron flowers spring from the lower tree canopy. Higher still, dense lichen spread. Up in cloud-drenched branches, a rare, hardy orchid, Bulbophyllum ciliisepalum, can be spotted.“In one tree, every species has their preferred location,” says Dr Rebecca Hsu, assistant researcher at the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute. “Every metre the temperature, the wind, the sun, the light is different.” Continue reading…
