After a week of being pilloried by County barristers, we’re feeling a bit sensitive about the claims that Coton Orchard has no worth, no amenity and that the bonkers busway would somehow improve it. It’s not perfect and neither are we, but we care deeply and do our best 📺 youtu.be/iSy0z2pkvi8?...

While plotting a new wildflower meadow in Coton Orchard today, OTV Ben found a Rosy Knot-horn moth (Oncocera semirubella). Nationally Scarce B and of conservation concern. Luckily its larval food plants – bird’s-foot trefoil & clover – are thriving here 🔍🐝 Reason 263 to #SaveCotonOrchard 🌳🚌❌

Collecting fruit for the village fête today, a volunteer recalled donning a picking bag here as a child. 50 years on, these same trees still yield their harvest but if the bonkers busway cuts through, our children may never taste their gift 🍎

Watched Lois and Ben release the moths from their traps in Coton Orchard… what a disgrace it would be if our County Council are given the power to throw this place under a busway 🔍 🐝

The Council plan to route a busway off road across Madingley Hill won’t just fell hundreds of trees, severe hedgerows and nature corridors but also gut farms as one fourth generation farmer tells us, this may be their last harvest if a TWAO is granted #NoFarmsNoFood ✏️ www.change.org/p/save-the-g...
