Sundewde Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi all, Just wanted to share this Drosera rotundifolia I found growing on Bodmin moor in the UK. They were once more widespread here, but following a recent expansion of the A30 road, a long strip of the plants were destroyed, along with some bog orchid species. This photo is taken of a population that grows about 200m from the road. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropicbreeze Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I've often wondered about effects resulting from road construction. The run off water has motor oil and micro particles of wearing tyres. There's also erosion and sedimentation resulting from the earth works which continues for some time. None of that can't be good for these delicate environments. We need the roads and we need the environment. It's a delicate balancing act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
