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.

Cladium mariscus grown in the habitat creation nursery at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social being planted into some rather challenging clay, starting a new area of quarry restoration.

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. @judywebb.bsky.social

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.

A beautiful Marsh Stitchwort in the habitat creation nursery @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social seed collected from Lower Derwent Valley NNR.

Tufted Loosestrife (Lysimachia thyrsiflora) in the habitat creation nursery @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social. Only the second time we've seen it flower, deer ate the buds last time. Only 1 site known in England.

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.

Primula farinosa in the habitat creation nursery @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social, North Yorkshire.

Good to see Toothwort back, this is on Hazel, well ahead of that on Wych Elm this year, unlike most years.
