Welcoming @london_larg to Grove farm, we sadly found only one pregnant female slow worm. This reduction may have been caused by the hotter temperatures this summer or other impacts. Please sign c.org/fRHX6VDMfX

A lovely summer walk with John Wells through Grove Farm’s woodland and meadows, cooled by the trees and rich with wildlife, pineappleweed, badger scrapes, butterflies, and birdsong. A beautiful reminder of why this local nature reserve matters.
