Earlier in Newport, we had a little 'presentation' to wish Eleanor Jennings all the best in her retirement 👏. Eleanor has been involved in research projects with the Newport Research Facility for years, too far back for some to remember 😉 and always a smiling face. @cfes_dkit

Everyone in Ireland should feel the loss on reading the summary of landscape change in the plant atlas 2020. Evidence of tunnel vision in land use policy which I worry is still not being addressed at the level required. plantatlas2020.org/sites/def…
