Now, the next phase of that, we said, we're not putting in anything non-native.

We're going to let native plants see themselves naturally.

With a little help from a wonderful plant called yellow rattle.

And yellow rattle is a parasitic flower that eats other root systems around it to help with nutrients.

And they call it the meadow maker.

So we threw a bit of that in.

let the grass grow.

What is that doing?

Is it taking care of like... It's taking the grass away mainly and that allows patches for the dandelion seed, for the comfrey, for tree foil, for all these little plants, native plants to get in and get a bit of light on and start growing.

And but when we did this, Jenny, you had Jenny on the podcast, who was a brilliant botanist from Trinity.

She was passing by and just her eye just went, oh, my God, that's an orchid.

What's it doing here in Trinity?

And just because we provided a habitat again, it gave it the space to grow up.

We have no idea.

It won't be dormant for ages.

It's the same with the, you know, when we were talking about the ponds earlier on and, you know, I was saying you're going past areas on the train and you'll see all the troughs there.

But also when you're going past areas and fields on the train, if you see massive, do you ever see the massive amounts of reeds?

They're like the short green reeds, but they're real thick and they're like in fields.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, they're spiky.
