“A Lichen, a Bellflower and the Woodsman”
A fascinating talk by Plantlife and hosted by the Avon and South Cotswolds Coppice Group (no admission charge and free raffle)
Wild flowers,plants and and fungi are the life support for all our wildlife and their colour and character light up our landscapes. But without our help, this priceless natural heritage is in danger of being lost.
From the open spaces of Plantlife’s nature reserves (nearly 4,500 acres of nature reserve across England, Scotland and Wales where you can find over 80% of the UK’s wild flowers) to talking to Government, to promotion of peat retention in the ground and not for gardening, to helping save nature on our roadside verges, to saving traditional meadows-these are just a few of campaigns that Plantlife are involved with.
Plantlife have 11,000 members and supporters, an Online shop selling native wildflower seeds, “adopt an acre”, “adopt a veteran tree” etc. and the Patron is HRH The Prince of Wales.
Everyone is invited to the talk: ASCCG members, non-members, friends/family and public.
