Plastic: while this modern material can be highly useful in many contexts, its durability is also a curse. When it’s discarded it’s a blight on our wild spaces, and a threat to our wildlife - both as litter, and when it breaks down, as microplastics which pollute ecosystems and weaken or kill organisms when ingested. A disheartening thought – but remember that taking action to pick up litter, however small, could help save an animal’s life.

Vanessa Lynn, volunteer for the Sevenoaks Greensand Commons project describes her time on the project and what she has learned. A great article to end this project with and to mark the beginning of a new era.
