The future of the UK’s bioenergy supply in the race to net zero

The RSPB, along with 3Keel, has published new analysis that shows cutting down forests for energy, or carpeting the countryside in energy crops, puts nature and the climate at risk.

75 years of magical Minsmere

Minsmere: the nature saver, the memory maker. This is a land where marsh harriers glide and bitterns boom.
