very good stuff.
Green Burial Grounds:
want to be buried under a tree? Dig this site.

about business opportunities for women in the rural economy.

of real trail leaflets but with all the advantages of a web page. Not sure you

Award winner.
The British Entomological and Natural History
Society

site with some very good case studies, see especially Virtual Fieldwork.
Building a bird box and siting it? Get
info from the RSPB on how to do it.
Too idle to build a birdbox?: No
problem, you can buy bird stuff online from the RSPB.
Lyme Disease: not much fun,
but worth knowing if you ever do any practical conservation. And if you like
that, and who wouldn't, why not try The
Weil's Disease Information Center too.
The New Forest Badger Watch:
not a posh timepiece but a good website.
Habitat: kind enough to acknowledge
us generously. How could we not reciprocate? It is a really good, up-to-date
and comprehensive UK nature conservation site with an emphasis on British wildflowers.
You should see it, really. If you find Naturenet useful you will certainly want
to look at Habitat.

almost anywhere in the UK.
