🌾 UKCEH's 3m Land Cover Map maps England in unprecedented detail, classifying 14bn+ 3m squares into 72 land cover & habitat types, from individual trees and hedgerows to buildings and solar arrays, supporting nature recovery.

Paging #YIMBY & #transit & #urbanism folk:

fascinating podcast on #energy transition work, with lots of parallels to #transit & #landuse. Worth your time.

Today on Volts: opponents of renewable energy have been organizing to block it at the local level, with disturbing success. Now an org called Greenlight America is organizing supporters, tipping them off to important siting/permitting fights & arming them with good information.
Organizing local support for clean energy projects
Meet the organization helping communities say "yes" to clean energy

Most people assume a vegan world would require more land to grow more plants 🌱, but, counterintuitively, the opposite is actually true

The document on scheduling (legal protection) of monuments & sites for Historic Environment Scotland is really valuable.
It also contains this stunning image of Habchester Fort showing the impact of different landuse histories and how fragile our prehistory is.

Aerial image of a hillfort showing two rings of defences, one half has been ploughed as shows barely a trace of the monument, the otherside hasn't and is very well defined.

Over the last eight months, a supergroup team led by the landscape designers at OLIN has attempted to envision an entirely different LA — where public space is a priority.

I spoke with the team about its 496-page draft recommendations for how the city's overworked parks system can get there
Confronting LA's park crisis
LA's Park Needs Assessment provides a roadmap — or perhaps a well-shaded, native-planted pathmap? — for a department that's been asked to do more and more with less

“Switching from coffee to tea can result not only in rewilding and restoration of millions of hectares of land but also in additional carbon sequestration.”

A map of SE England showing most Lower & Middle Palaeolithic find spots, conflating around 600,000 years of prehistory. The dots don't meaningfully tell us about early human landuse or site preservation in the first instance 1/2

There are many more land-efficient ways to produce #energy than growing #biofuels. Crops convert less than 1% of sunlight into biomass; #solarpanels convert around 20%. And using #electricity is more efficient than using liquid fuels: hannahritchie.substack.com/p/biofuels-v... #landuse #biomass
We could produce a lot of electricity on the land used for biofuels
About enough to meet current global electricity demand.

Food for thought… 💭

Bear in mind that although #PrecisionFermentation would be ideal, a plant based transition alone could potentially eliminate 3 billion hectares of agricultural land, hence allowing a mass rewilding movement #BiodiversityCollapse #LandUse #Rewilding
