Wetlands of International Importance

<p>By the Wainwright-Conservation-Prize-winning author of Rebirding. Spend a year in an orchard, celebrating its imperilled, overlooked abundance of life.</p><p>England's ancient orchards, collaborations between people and nature, are sources of hope for the future. Protecting them promises a far richer England for the centuries to come, for wildlife and for us.</p><p>As the seasons turn, a wealth of animals and plants are revealed: Bumble and solitary bees apartment-hunting in April&#x3b; spotted flycatchers migrating in May&#x3b; redstarts, hedgehogs and owls nesting in June&#x3b; an explosion of life in the summer and the harvest and homespun cider-making in the autumn. And all throughout the year, the orchard's human and animal inhabitants work together, creating one of the richest ecosystems left in Britain.</p><p>Explore this unique habitat throughout the course of a year, and marvel at the beauty and strength of nature.</p>
