So excited to see this. Kayleigh has been an incredible support and dear friend to Brighton Young Archaeologists Club, and ourselves at Archaeodiscovery during our #ChangingChalk #Heritagefunduk #communityarchaeology dig at Bevendean Farm Green this past year. The recent conference in Lewes was fab!

@natsca.blog @nationaltrust @WritingOurLegacy really looking forward to speaking tomorrow 9th May at the #NatSCA conference in #Manchester discussing how #storying with #naturalhistorycollections makes a difference when working equitably with #community & #decolonising #changingchalk approaches.
Out doing some meadow management with a scythe this morning with #ChangingChalk on Butts Lane Meadow. Scythes are surprisingly useful for managing aggressive grasses!
@natsca.bsky.social Speaking Friday 9th. Delighted to be sharing the research, creative community words & reflections on my #NationalTrust funded #ChangingChalk initiative. What is revealed about the nature of #naturalhistorycollections through our senses & #equitable shared experiences? #NatSCA2025
Out with the Butts Lane Meadow volunteers and @southdownsnp.bsky.social volunteers doing meadow management and making scrapes for bees 🐝. #EastbourneDownland #ChangingChalk
Nice to get back doing some informal teaching! I did a walk for #ChangingChalk at Butts Meadow this morning, using keys to identify trees in winter ( Using twigs and bud features)
Volunteering this morning for #ChangingChalk at Butts Brow Meadow. Scrub clearing to restore the chalk grassland
On a rather damp pond surveying course today run by @southdownsnp.bsky.social Rangers Tom and Kim and funded by #ChangingChalk. Using the Freshwater Habitats Trust form, we can survey the dew ponds restored or created under the National Lottery Heritage Fund @nationallottery.bsky.social
