It looks like 2023 has already brought us a tough winter with living standards and health eroding for so many. But, there are silver linings (of climate progress) around us.

Thor will forever remain in our hearts and minds - a near and present reminder of how important it is to protect the precious nature we have remaining. He could not have been a better ambassador for the challenged Arctic circle.

COP15 in Montreal has seen genuine commitments made to nature restoration targets for 30% of land and sea. We can all support this initiative by wilding 30% of our garden space in 2023!
