At NEYEDC we're interested in all aspects of natural history, including finding out about past fieldtrips and finds, which is why it was nice to stumble across a lovely hand drawn map from a @ynuorg.bsky.social conchological excursion to Brandesburton in 1969 - spot the all important lunch stop!🥪

We've been busy the past few weeks with our Local Wildlife Site panels, bringing for consideration candidate and existing sites that were surveyed in 2024 as part of our 10-year rolling re-survey programme of North Yorkshire SINCs and East Riding Local Wildlife Sites 🌷
