Sunny, windy and fun checking out White Farm meadow in Barry today. Hard going through very lush meadow. Highlight a couple of Spiny Restharrows to add to VOG records for this endangered plant @valelnp.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

Premier.
Wildlife in Wales needs us more than ever.
INCC are aiming to create a Nature Investigations team for Wales so that we can fight for wildlife and hold decision makers to account. Please donate if you can and please share the video far and wide. Thanks.

The UK Government promised a planning system that works for people & nature.

But as it stands, this Bill risks fast-tracking nature’s destruction.

We’ve joined others calling for urgent change.

Nature mustn't be written out of our future. 🚨
A screenshot from The Guardian with the headline: “Planning bill ‘throws environmental protection to the wind’, say UK nature chiefs.” The subheading warns the proposals could push species towards extinction and lead to irreversible habitat loss. Below, a photo shows a wide view of the English countryside in autumn, with green fields, scattered trees in golden tones, and wooded hills in the distance - representing the kind of landscapes at risk.
