Our latest podcast is live! In this episode, Isabel Hardman finds out about floodplain meadows, and why they are such an important habitat for wild flowers, and hears about the starved wood sedge (and what it is).
The Species Recovery Trust have agreed to be a #wildflowerhour partner, which means we will work with them and promote their work. They do fantastic work, and it’s not just in saving the Starved Wood Sedge. Here’s their website and here is a factsheet on the Starved Wood Sedge.
The Floodplain Meadows Partnership works to manage, restore and research these habitats and you can read more about their work here. Isabel refers to a tweet by Guardian columnist George Monbiot, which caused some controversy: you should read that thread here.
You can listen to this podcast on iTunes, Acast, Stitcher, Spotify and all other good podcast platforms. Just let us know if it doesn’t turn up on yours and we’ll add our feed. Please also considering leaving a review of the show as it helps other people find it more easily which means that more people will learn about how amazing the native flowers of Britain and Ireland really are.
