We have fragments of temperate rainforest in Britain, and very few seem to know about it. This oak tree in Devon is supporting hundreds of polypody ferns on its moss-covered branches, thanks to the damp climate:

Our petition to stop the criminalisation of trespass has passed 100,000 signatures - so MPs in Parliament will debate it! THANKYOU EVERYONE! Next step: ensuring the voices of Travellers, protestors, ramblers, kayakers & everyone who'd be impacted by this are heard in the debate.

@JamiesFarm Looks delicious!

Delicious 🙌 #FarmToFork
