Resembling a purple sea anemone, it is a very scarce flower in this country, found only in a few localised places and favouring south-facing chalkland.

It is bizarre but beautiful.

Backpack-wearing dogs enlisted to #rewild urban nature reserve in Lewes

Backpack-wearing dogs are being enlisted to “act like wolves” to help rewild an urban nature reserve in the East Sussex town of Lewes.

Before wolves were persecuted to extinction in the UK in about 1760, they were known to roam large areas, typically covering 12 miles (20km) or more each night.

In doing so, wolves would inadvertently pick up wildflower and grass seeds in their fur, dispersing them many miles away and helping establish new colonies of plants, which is vital for biodiversity and for ecosystems to thrive.

West #Sussex art installation remembers victims of #Covid-19

Local charity Dementia Support has been working in partnership with West Sussex County Council and The Selsey Community Forum to purchase two hundred steel forget-me-nots from Chi-Africa.

The aim is to help provide a space for #communities to come together to share their #grief in a meaningful way after the #lockdowns prevented them from doing so at the time, with many not getting the chance to say goodbye.

Martha Pusey, head of Sage House, said: “The idea for the reflections project came about with two carers in mind that we supported during the #pandemic who lost loved ones living with #dementia. The project is very much dedicated to their memories.

Chi-Africa is a local business that produces garden sculptures from recycled materials in partnerships with craftsmen in #Zimbabwe.

Alongside the #forget-me-nots, there will be an opportunity for people to share their personal reflections in a jar. These will then be turned into five Books of #Remembrance after the event and will be held in local libraries.
