Managed a bit of environmental education yesterday talking to someone wanting to “tidy up” a patch of nettles and put down some grass seed.
They had no idea that the nettles were an important food source for caterpillars.
Even got into the whole food chain with the caterpillars being needed for the birds.
Was a positive and useful conversation, it’s easy to forget that what seems obvious to me is down to what I’ve learned over the years & not everyone has the same knowledge base.
