He planted trees with the help of volunteers and restored it into a thriving woodland. The area is called “May’s Woodland” and has over 100,000 trees growing there.

      Sorry, ideally I would but don’t have the time so it is either a picture without text or no post. Vision impaired people aren’t catered to either way so I have not inconvenienced them by posting.

      Soon enough bots will do it for us.

          Thank you for sharing this tool, it’s a new thing to me. I’ve been working on incorporating the inclusion of image descriptions into my regular practice (such as adding alt text for images I share in group chats, not just posts that I intend to share more widely). I appreciate your suggestion here - it looks like it will be useful in making that more of a reliable habit
