Plantlife - the wild plant conservation charity - has a chance to purchase
Ranscombe Farm, near Rochester in Kent.

This farm, some 680 acres of woodland and arable land, has one of the country's
greatest concentrations of endangered plants, and contains the single most
important arable flower site in the UK.

There are some species here which are threatened with extinction.

Because of the importance of this site the Government and the Local Authority
are providing a huge amount of money, so long as Plantlife can find the
remainder, and can do so before the end of the Financial Year.

Plantlife need to raise £120,000 (for every pound raised the Government
and Local Authority could add another eight.)


It is a big "ask" for a small charity such as Plantlife to raise.

All donations, please, to


Plantlife International,
Freepost LON 10717,
Salisbury,
SP1 1BR

Cheers,

Have you approached the Lottery fund people? And I wonder if the Prince's
Trust would get involved in something like this.
