A HAND FOR THE LAND

-

About 500,000 hectares across England are set to be transforme­d into wildlife habitats by 2042 in projects by the Nature Recovery Network, a partnershi­p between Defra, Natural England and 600 other organisati­ons. Reed beds are already being restored on the Avalon Marshes in Somerset (avalonmars­hes.org) to encourage great white egrets (right), while sphagnum and cotton grass are being planted across the Peak District to support mountain hares (moorsforth­efuture.org.uk).
