Any update on the Gwenffrwd appeal?

English Bluebells seeds and their leaf shoots

Every year we spend multiple back breaking days collecting English Bluebell seeds by hand directly from seed pods

We then sow by hand where there are gaps

This is the reward

The taproots have already anchored the seeds, so now the first leaf shoots have broken ground

Any update for the Gwenffrwd appeal? I'm not the only person interested.

Any update on the Gwenffrwd appeal to purchase Gallt y Bere?

Any chance of showing how the Gwenffrwd appeal is going?

Thank you to the 7,000+ people across the UK who stood with us against public money for Berwick Bank.

This decision is a blow to our seabirds and to a truly sustainable energy future.

Your voices matter. Together, we’ll keep fighting for solutions that protect nature and the climate. 🧵

In the 250th anniversary year of Jane Austen's birth, perhaps it's time for research into the effect of the novels and film adaptations on tourism.

Purple Hairstreak (Favonius quercus).
I was lucky enough to be able to watch this butterfly close-up for about half an hour, as it went from flower to flower.

Still waiting to see if it's Broadleaf helleborine. One of eleven in garden. Combe Down, Bath.

Thank you. Goodness me. Used Plant Net identification. Will monitor.

Pleased to discover three of these in the garden, once a Bath stone quarry. Perhaps Epipactis atrorubens...

I have been in hospital a few days. I’m home and recovering well.
I put a sign on my hospital door saying “No J.D Vance visits.”
