Thanks so much for your support. This really is a wonderful site - a chalk spring, a neutral spring and an acidic spring from the Greensand meet in the central marsh - I can't think of a site of this size with such diversity, and the plants and invertebrates to prove ti.

“The FUW [Farmers' Union of Wales] remains fundamentally opposed to rewilding, given the clear evidence of the ecological harm and economic risks it poses" Same article: this image of the landscape they're describing, prior to its purchase for rewilding. Think the FUW needs some new arguments.

‘The job of a lifetime’: Line of Duty to return for seventh season
The hit BBC crime drama is coming back to screens for the first time since its record-breaking 2021 finale BBC hit crime drama Line of Duty has been confirmed to return for a seventh series. A new six-part season following police anti-corruption investigations was today announced by the BBC. “We couldn’t be more delighted to be returning for a seventh [series],” said creator Jed Mercurio. “Corruption in this country is supposed to have come to an end while Line of Duty was off air so I’ve been forced to use my imagination.” Continue reading...

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️ From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected. A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

Reform mayor Andrea Jenkyns tells Times Radio that she doesn’t believe climate change exists, and that it’s just a “racket” for some people to make money. If Reform win the next election, the UK could become a very different place quite quickly.
ait Borsay: "Do you think climate change exists?"
Andrea: "I've said for a long time, we need to ditch net zero and actually focus on economic growth. A million percent."
Kait: "But then how do you tackle climate change? And do you believe that climate change exists?"
Andrea: "Do I believe that climate change exists? No."
Kait: "Okay. So you are not a believer in climate, you know, despite rising global temperatures, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, despite all of that evidence?"
Andrea: "It depends. It depends what evidence you look at.... I think it's a way to actually make money."
Kait: "Okay. But you don't believe climate change exists. And so that's why there is no need for net zero, in your opinion."
Andrea: "Absolutely. And I think it's harming industry. I think it's a money making racket where certain businesses and individuals are making money out of it."
