Calling all fans of #BigBigTrain and #Dorset heaths:
“Upton Heath” is not only a wonderful song, it's also a very special wild place. Rich in #wildflowers #moss #lichen #fungi #reptiles and #birds . But now an area of land at its centre is on sale for mineral extraction. Please consider helping Dorset Wildlife Trust raise funds to buy it this month (not much time!)

I'm wondering if this is some kind of Usnea lichen? We use evergreen boughs (purchased from a wholesaler) to protect our climbing roses, and this was in amongst the greens. Still a nice minty green after the winter cold, but clearly out of place in a Connecticut rose garden.
Any chance it would be happy tucked into a tree somewhere in the garden?
