On the 17/01/2024 Merlindale Nature directors John Mclennan and David Lintott travelled down south to Northumberland to collect 632.8 kilograms of wildflower seed (consisting mainly of yellow rattle) from Kevin Wharf at Windyside Farm in Northumberland. They successfully dropped off all the seed with project manager Apithanny Borne who will be delivering it to each of our sites over the next few weeks so that it can be dispersed in time to receive a frosting before the end of winter. A special thanks to Kevin for being so helpful and for his great passion and support for the project!
After finishing this, I immediately went looking for other posts to read more on the same topic. The explanations were clear enough that even the more technical sections felt manageable. I appreciated how the writer balanced solid information with a genuinely engaging tone throughout. A few of the details mentioned here I'll probably be thinking about for a while. Great piece, honestly.
