Oh my GOODNESS I’ve wanted to see this for ages! 🥳 Alders contain tannins that leach into gathering raindrops, dyeing the liquid with colour. The effect is *stunning*. This Alder (Alnus glutinosa) I came across was glinting gold, amber & deep wine red. How beautiful is that! 😍
🚨 10 tickets available for Sun, 4th Sept at £12! Thanks to @ernestcooktrust & @CotswoldsAONB we have 10 funded, & a small number of tickets FREE! The cost of living needn’t mean you can’t join the final day of #EmergentGeneration22 💚

Strawberry Clover (Trifolium fragiferum) is yet another beautiful and threatened addition to the flora of Hoylake beach on Wirral, where today the total number of plants recorded there for the first time ever exceeded 200!!! Yayay!! 🌱❤️
@RichardHRBenyon@EnglefieldUK Paths alone don't constitute nature. Humans should roam, play, celebrate, camp, dance, sing and more in woodlands, meadows and vast expanses. Private and exclusive ownership of huge swathes of land is not cool. Reverse the enclosure of England, please allow us access to our land!
In July & August Booktime, we interview @AmyJaneBeer about her moving new book The Flow, in which she explores the rivers of Britain, blending memoir, history and nature writing.
@RichardHRBenyon@EnglefieldUK There's 2 types of embrace I find when greeting people; one where your hearts are close, you feel connected & held by that person. The other; an arms-length air kiss, duty-bound, a hard loveless sense of separation a mere handshake. On Sunday @Right_2Roam embraced @EnglefieldUK
@RichardHRBenyon@EnglefieldUK We would have loved for you to join us Richard! Our trespass/celebration was highlighting the need for more more access to nature. To connect with nature, to connect with each other. To not be troubled by invisible footpaths but to respect and love and roam our land #righttoroam
