I'm delighted to share this short film 🎬 I worked on which explores the impact of invasive species 🌿 🐚 🦐 on the freshwater environment and shows how water users 🎣 🚣‍♀️ 🛥️ 🛶 ⛵ can prevent their spread by following the Check Clean Dry protocol.

Word of the Day is ‘gwenders’, from old Cornish dialect: a disagreeable tingling in the extremities (or no sensation at all) due to extreme cold.

Water primrose Ludwigia grandiflora is an invasive ornamental pond plant, originally from South America. It increases flood risk and degrades amenity and ecological quality. We know of 53 sites in the UK, 25 of which are eradicated. If you find water primrose, report it at alertnonnative@ceh.ac.uk

I believe it was knapped in the Mesolithic period, but is it a blade or merely a flake? I get a buzz when I pick these flints up and think of the last time they were handled #mesolithic #flint #knapping #Cornwall #Kernow

For my first post I’d like to remember that magical night in Spring when I finally saw the aurora on the North Cornish coast #aurora #Cornwall #Kernow
