Plantlife - the wild plant conservation charity - has a chance to purchase
Ranscombe Farm, near Rochester in Kent.

See
www.plantlife.org.uk for details about the charity.



Have you approached the Lottery fund people? And I wonder if the Prince's
Trust would get involved in something like this.



Personally, no. I'm just a member.

Plantlife's Biodiversity Programme Manager says the site has more "Back From
the Brink" species than any other single site in Britain. This includes
meadow clary, hairy mallow, broad-leaved cudweed and ground pine.

It is thought to be the only site in Britain where the corncockle still grows
wild.

Absolutely, definitely suggest they involve the Prince of Wales, then! No
joking - sounds right up his street.
