arl mussel is just one example of the science in my report showing how Natural England and our partners are making a real difference to our understanding, and conservation, of the natural environment.
Articles in the report cover the breadth of our work - the conservation projects for species such as the wart-biter cricket (page 33) and the dormouse (page 29), our work around climate change, protected areas (including the extension of the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks - page 45), geodiversity, and the marine environment (including the stalked jellyfish - page 50) so there should be something of interest for everyone. I hope you enjoy it.
