I have been clearing out press cuttings concerning environmental issues.

This is from a Kent newspaper dated May30th 2004.

The White Cliffs of Dover are/were one of the few sites left where the rare Plant Meadow Clary grows.? With only a handfull of sites hosting about 1,000 plants across Britain, Meadow Clary is faced with extinction.

This time extinction is being driven not just by? A man? but by rabbits as well.? The bunnies like to nibble the flower shoots then finish off the leaves.

There were only 6 wild plants growing on the White Cliffs, so the National Trust put a cage over the plants to protect them from predatory rabbits.

You’ve guessed it! Somebody stole the cage.? The Police don’t believe that the thief was a rabbit lover.? The White Cliffs of Dover are a Site of Special Scientific Interest? ( SSSI )? this means that the cliffs and everything on them are are protected by Law.

Don’t forget the Energy Crisis.? You can help yourself and the Planet.? Take a look here at my Powertune website.
