Thanks to everyone who came to today’s record-breaking Bioblitz at Coton Orchard with On The Verge Cambridge. Grateful to the expert recorders who shared time and knowledge.

In sweltering heat, local farmers rolled up with equipment to help fence our new pollinator patch this weekend – protection also for the Anne Frank and Sycamore Gap trees, and a step towards reweaving wildlife corridors. Grateful for their quiet, generous kinship 🚜🌱🐝

Well Cambridgeshire County Council didn’t listen—not to The Wildlife Trusts, People's Trust for Endangered Species or 12 other NGOs.
