Great to see almost 2000 plants for Nidderdale National Landscape leaving the habitat creation nursery at
@nosterfieldnr.bsky.social
Much of the material was collected in Nidderdale, bulked up in the nursery, and will be used to enhance a network of new upland ponds & scrapes.

This fen creation trial by the High Batts team at Pennycroft Quarry is hopefully the start of something much bigger. It's survived a mammoth river flood and prolonged inundation. Adjoining open water is crystal clear and dominated by stonewort beds, suggesting ideal conditions for calcareous fen.

We are getting Marsh Lousewort establishing in our created fen habitat
@nosterfieldnr.bsky.social
at last. We'll have to deter the deer from taking all the seed for a while yet.

It looks like a sown mixture of 'cornfield annuals' without the corn crop. It is absolutely not a meadow, which is a mixture of grasses and mostly perennial plants, usually cut for hay.

Marsh Pea plants in the habitat creation nursery
@nosterfieldnr.bsky.social
are setting seed for the first time. We have put plants together from several remaining Yorkshire sites, hoping for some genetic variation, as plants seem clonal in some places.

A Dyer's Greenweed stock plant flowering in the habitat creation nursery
@nosterfieldnr.bsky.social
. Seed from the Central henge at Thornborough, and plants we raise will be going back there. Stock plants in the polytunnel as deer ate all the flowers/ young pods in previous years.

Common Reed seed at the habitat creation nursery
@nosterfieldnr.bsky.social
. The extraction is a somewhat messy process involving a liquidiser and a feathery kitchen. I do hope they germinate.
