I got T. Pseudohamatum for this but not confident. Struggling with the exterior bracts bordering part of the key for section Hamata. Almost all I can find have varying pinkish tinges to the exterior bracts, not sure if borders? @BrambleBotanist

Great news for badgers this week!! We are delighted to see that the Government is phasing out culls and that these will be replaced by badger vaccination. There is robust scientific evidence to prove that badger vaccination reduces the transmission of bTB in badgers 🦡💚😊

Open up wildlife highways: Cut out little doorways at the base of fences so that
hedgehogs, frogs and toads can get from one garden to the next. Make sure to ask your neighbours’ permission 🦔🦔🦔💚

A good start, who will take this further?
