Today’s spot in the Rowntree Park long borders by volunteer gardening lead Stu - the Knot Grass caterpillar.
This is a new pollinator spot in the park!
Want to know more about Rowntree Park pollinators, then pick up a leaflet from the cafe and enjoy the art and info trail.

This comes from engagement work with teenage girls in a park in York.
And you see all those things with two dots by them. Those make up 90%+ of what we currently provide for young people in public space.
Whereas the things that girls want - they just aren't there.
Let's do better.

Sat in the wooded area in Rowntree Park down the road enjoying the cool dappled shade, listening to the birds (including a nuthatch), and also saw this beautiful shy thrush.
