AI review summary for ferret food! Er….

World Rewilding Day. In a local pond is frog spawn, if the water’s not been polluted with oil/chemicals. Nature’s rewilding efforts are slower than the speed humans pollute & destroy. Rewilding can mean big projects but rewilding our hearts & homes is the start! @globalrewilding

Don’t you just love simple steps?!

What the F?! Hey, we are unthinkable without fungi, yet seldom do we think about them. We need to add a third “F” – funga – to the protected Flora and Fauna and write this neglected kingdom of life into conservation, policy, and research frameworks.

“Japanese knotweed and other invasive species cost UK £4bn a year, research suggests” Japanese knotweed has incredible medicinal properties but has to be imported. Hundreds of tons a year brought in as supplements & tinctures. Someone’s missing a trick!

I met Mo Wilde 🍄 yesterday. She wrote an exceptional book; The Wilderness Cure. This is her foraged tea mix? Just imagine what happens in a cup with boiling water added to draw out the goodness? #wilderness #foraging #Scotland #knowledge #tea #herbal #plants #flowers
