We've just finished scything the reed in "car park fen" (so named given its proximity to a hospital car park). This area is still being restored, and will likely need cutting twice more this year. Looking forward to seeing which seeds we spread last year germinate!

Donald Trump wants you to believe that he is all powerful and that if you fight back you will lose.
He wants you to believe that if you fight back you face danger.
It is time for us to build not a temporary resistance but a long term opposition.

Battacharya and RFJ Jr. don't have "unconventional ideas." They have deeply dangerous, unproven "theories" based on conspiracies. Any and all media outlets referring to "unconventional ideas" will be fully complicit in the many deaths resulting from dismantling the public health system.
