Big news for beavers in Wales 🦫

We’re thrilled the Welsh government has legally recognised beavers as a native species requiring protection. This is a huge step forward in ensuring beavers — and the incredible ecosystem services they provide — are re-established in Wales.

🧵1/3

Screenshot of a BBC online article titled: "Beavers set to become a protected species in Wales", which features a photo of a beaver surrounded by twigs. It's overlayed on an aerial image of a Welsh rewilding site featuring ponds, greenery and mist. Background image credit: Alex Hyde.

Here is the progress on my latest commission. This cross is for the church in Llantrisant in oak salvaged from the church's bell tower which is undergoing refurbishment.
The rays will be gilt with 24K gold and Oak will be fitted in between them.

In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.

2 years of default urban/village 20mph in Wales has resulted in over 1,000 fewer killed or injured. The data shows a 25% reduction in casualties on the 20/30mph roads. Drivers gain with damage risk, crashes and premiums down. Well done Wales. bit.ly/4ppl030

Huge thank you to Gayle and Chris of @workersgallery.bsky.social for hosting the Outsiders touring exhibition over the summer and for taking the work out to people who wouldn’t normally engage with an exhibition like this via the gallery in a box. That’s what real community engagement looks like.
