If you are in Fife, near Tayport or St Andrews and like getting muddy while restoring habitat, reducing coastal erosion and creating a carbon store, we have a day out (or more) for you.

Flight Free UK
I just finished making a video of a presentation that Anna Hughes of Flight Free UK made for Sustainable St Albans Our Planet Our Future.
Beavers, birds, and biodiversity—sometimes, nature really does know best. And our love for the natural world can be a powerful driver of climate action.
🌿 Good news: In the Czech Republic, a government dam project stalled for years… until a colony of beavers built a network of dams in the exact same spot. As one expert put it: “Beavers do it for free—one thousand times better than people.”
🐸 Not-so-good news: Amphibians are in hot water—literally. A new study shows that if temperatures rise 4°C, nearly 1 in 13 amphibian species could face extinction.
🐦 What you can do: Get outside and go birding! It’s a simple, joyful way to deepen your connection to the natural world. Paying attention to nature starts right in our own backyards.

I was glad to see the paragraph starting with the words "Regardless of heat source" in that article. When I put chops under our electric grill, the concentration of particulates in the kitchen air goes right off the scale, even at the other end of the room. Just as the article says, switching to electricity for cooking (healthier though it is) does not remove the need to ventilate the kitchen.

Very happy to have had help from the regular polytunnel volunteers and the BioSoc society to get these plants into the Eden estuary, to help restore the saltmarsh, protect the coast, increase biodiversity and help store carbon.

Fortunately we’ll be starting this year’s saltmarsh restoration planting next week, getting the plants out of the tunnel and into the estuary. Making more space for more propagation.

Eating gels
I have a box of Clif Athlete Series Bloks Energy Chews. The "Recommendations for use" on the box say "Eat 3 to 6 pieces every hour during activity." There are 6 pieces in each wrapper. Eating 1 piece every 10 to 20 minutes seems like a lot to me. Are they just trying to get me to buy more of the product? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dirk
