Beautiful moonlight walk to save Pawlett Hams
Last night I was once again with the Pawlett Hams Action Group and local residents for a lovely moonlight walk.
Being out in nature, in this wonderful area, is very rewarding.
We learnt how to use a nature recording app, ate cake and talked about a local ghost story, which I really hope is true!
Pawlett Hams is under threat from a proposal by EDF to create a saltmarsh in the area, a move which would destroy the local environment and habitats in the area.
The beautiful, ancient, Pawlett Hams needs to be preserved. I will stand up for (and with) local people against EDF’s plans to destroy the Hams with their proposal of mitigation for Hinkley Point C.
