Great to see almost 2000 plants for Nidderdale National Landscape leaving the habitat creation nursery at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social Much of the material was collected in Nidderdale, bulked up in the nursery, and will be used to enhance a network of new upland ponds & scrapes.

Cladium mariscus grown in the habitat creation nursery at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social being planted into some rather challenging clay, starting a new area of quarry restoration.

The newest members of the team arrived today at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social
