Lambourn Downs: ewes jostling for position on the rubbing post.

You won’t be surprised to learn that April was a very wet month.

In fact the 6th wettest in the UK since 1836.

In England it’s the 10th month in a row that has been wetter than average. You have to go back to last June to find a dry month.

Announcing our new campaign: #WeAreNature , joint with Frieda Gormley and Javvy Royle of House of Hackney.

Dictionary definitions treat nature as separate from humans, but we think humans are part of Nature. We want to change that. See more and sign:
