Good to see, a couple of Shrill Carder Bees during a vegetation monitoring visit to Margam Landfill site (a capped landfill with an artificial dune system on top of it!), feeding on Yellow-rattle and Selfheal. Also recently hatched Ringed Plovers, scoring highly on the cuteness scale 😍.

We're hiring! 🌱

Spent a lovely day with the inspiring Jacopo Dugati Ruggeri, finalising his order for RHS Wentworth next month.

Using blast furnace slag at Festival Fields, Llanelli, to increase the diversity of native plants for nature conservation.

Due to the substrate being used, this area will also act as a carbon capture area.

Good article about how we can use slag from the steel industry to create carbon capture gardens and wildlife areas.
