If so, and the recipient is interested in Natural History, Conservation, Grasslands or Meadows, then you could consider a CMG-related gift.
Winter might not be the weather for T-shirts, but the CMG Teemill shop has a range of them ready for next summer, as well as some Hoodies to keep you warm in the meantime. All the designs were by Kate Smith from our steering group, and they are all available in a range of colours. Teemill is an environmentally responsible company that makes clothing for lots of conservation organisations. You can see the range of CMG garments here: https://carmarthenshiremeadowsgroup.teemill.com/
Our Meadows Group began the (now UK wide) Big Meadow Search a few years ago. There are two books available which were compiled from the many social media posts by Laura Moss that accompany the project: and the second volume has over 200 further species included. What makes these books unique is that they not only describe the plants (with lots of identifications tips), but also include information about the invertebrates, galls and fungi associated with each plant.

The first book concentrates on grassland “indicator” plant species used to assess habitat quality.




The second volume has over 200 further species included.



We have copies of each volume for sale at £10 each, postage for one book is £2.70, and for both books £3.90. If you would like to buy one or both volumes, please send us your name and postal address by emailing us on bigmeadowsearch@gmail.com.
