Up at STRI HQ today - Hard fescue and Sheep's fescue plots looking great and less Red Thread. (They are darker coloured squares).

Lovely to see a beautiful Snakeshead Fritillary at Richmond golf course coming through in a patch of uncut rough. A rare plant (Red Data list) of wetland meadow, it does not tolerate spring cutting/grazing and has benefitted from the wet spring and leaving this area unmown.

As we approach the time of year where we instinctively want to cut everything back for the sake of “tidiness,” I implore that you don’t! Our hedgerows in particular are about to come alive with #wildlife! These Ivy flowers are about to provide for our later emerging insects, and

After our #BTME presentation last week it became clear we need to do more on this. Please take 5mins to complete this. We need all sides of the story. So people who didn't see it are as important as those that did. Please repost and encourage others to get involved. Thanks

It was a BIG day today! A whole day committed to telling the eco and sustainability stories (anonymously) of our fantastic finalists to our judging panel and trying to tease out our winners - it was sooo hard to choose!! #ultimatelyallwinners!

Well, that was a first....looking at grass in the dark, starting at 11pm! Haven't stayed up this late in a long time! 😅 (Advising on management of Gatwicks grasslands to deter birds in case you were wondering!)
