Happy Imbolc & St Brigid’s day - half way between the winter solstice and the spring equinox - almost made it through another northern winter.

If we want more homes, better built, quicker and with a lower carbon footprint - then many of them are going to offsite construction and timber frame.
We need to be growing more of that timber and board and insulation in the U.K. 🌲

Most impressed by Bellway’s new timber frame facility opened today at Sutton-in-Ashfield. The timber frames both substitute for more carbon intensive materials & themselves store carbon = a climate win-win. @forestryjournal.bsky.social @marycreagh.bsky.social @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse.
A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!”
