Plant Atlas and Toads

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, Plant Atlas and Toads

Native plants in decline, and the toad patrol.

Where have all the flowers gone? A new plant atlas reveals a decline in our native flora. And we're out in Neath, helping toads to cross the road.

We hear about the cross party Senedd inquiry looking at growth and productivity in rural Wales.  A new Plant Atlas, produced by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland says our native plants have been hit by modern agriculture and climate change.  In Wrexham. we visit the roof garden in the city, softening the concrete and steel with fruit trees and foliage. And we're out on toad patrol, with the Bryncoch Environment Group near Neath, helping toads on their migration to the local pond.
