Word of the day: "verge" - a bounding margin, a threshold, a way-edge. Verges are vital wildlife habitats, often overlooked, over-mown & over-sprayed -- but seething with species, surprises & beauty. I love them. Share stories & photos in celebration of the secret life of verges.

Beautiful Juniper is one of only three native conifers alongside yew and Scot’s pine. It is declining rapidly and could go extinct. Thankfully regeneration IS possible with #ConservationInAction . Please donate what you can to help us save juniper
