This is one of the beautiful #wetland areas on our #Cotswolds farm, managed for conservation. And this is how I found it yesterday, filled with litter washed downstream from a country lane. Please don't be a tosser in your car; take your #litter home with you. #naturefriendlyfarming 😤

Gorgeous morning beside the river on our #Oxfordshire #Cotswolds farm. The river & meadow are part of a designated Local Wildlife Site. Planting the alders was one of the first things we did, almost 30 years ago, as described in This Is Not My Land. #rivers #naturefriendlyfarming
