Happy nature news of the day: the Foxley Wood acorns I’m hoping will sprout into 100 oaks to celebrate Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s 100th birthday next year are growing beautifully. Incredible energy stored in an acorn. So robust and easy to grow (once acorns protected from hungry mice over winter) 😃

The Outsiders touring exhibition will open next on 1 June at @workersgallery.bsky.social and will be there for three months. Delighted to be working with such a well-respected gallery on this. The exhibition will include a ‘gallery in a box’ for those in care who can’t travel to see the exhibition.
