New Arcady An island of biodiversity celebrating the wonder of the natural world, managed by Grow Sefton CIC.

It was good weather for work this weekend: relatively cool and mainly dry - perfecto. Now that Hester's switched out of mum-mode, she's pretty much back to her usual svelte self and seems pretty chill. Her partner and at least one pup are still around and about, but they're rarely seen during the daytime, unlike Hester, who regularly drops by to oversee the work on site.

Loads of the woodland creatures keep saying the same thing:

"The name of the page is crap. Why don't you just use the name of the site instead of a boring company name? (bla, bla, bla)"

Well, it is true that the CIC was given a generic company name when it was incorporated. And yes, the site is registered as New Arcady with the Forestry Commission, which is a much better name. So, just to stop everyone from moaning (particularly the beetles - OMG), we're changing this page name to New Arcady (pronounced New Ark-a-dee). And now anyone will have a proper name for where they're coming. But the company is still Grow Sefton CIC. Happy now, ladybirds??? Good, quit hassling. 👌

The last weekend in May was full of wonder: seedlings battling against relentless sunshine, Chicken of the Woods bursting out of a log like an alien landing on Earth, heroic trees thankfully taking the edge off the baking heat, and Hester being rewarded with a hen's egg for being a particularly fabulous fox. June tomorrow! Summertime. And maybe some rain. 🙏😄

Whoa! That was a freaky hot day. 29 degrees in May! Too much out in the open, but so much cooler under the trees. Hester's slow pace says it all. ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

What a spectacularly beautiful evening that was! Hester was enjoying herself in the sunshine and came to hang out while the veg patch was getting weeded and watered. True, it wasn't perfect when she decided to lie down right on top of the freshly-sprouted seedlings. But hey, having a friendly wild fox lying on your veg is always going to be way better than not hanging out with a fox. She's the coolest. She can lie down wherever she wants. 👌

One of Hester's cubs made quite an appearance today. He or she was still quite small, but much more fox-like than the brown fluffy things that were tumbling around at the end of March. This one was very curious, very playful and very happy to be out and about exploring. However, he or she was far too busy chasing bees and chomping on twigs to hang around for a photo, so here's a characterful fungus instead - probably a Dryad's Saddle, which is also very cool, and apparently very tasty.

Even though the sun had long since set, a brilliant glow radiated from these volunteers, illuminating the surrounding woodland, so it seemed as though night were day. Stellar work, heroes. Big bed cleared of stickyweed, veg planted, path cleared. Boom. 💪

Today's volunteering was full of heroes. Jobs well done and a rainbow-y thumbs up from Mother Nature. Nice. 👌
