How long have you known about the endangered freshwater pearl mussel? At the PMP catchment consultation meetings held in 2018 we learnt that 45% of farmers have known about them for most of their lives while the remaining 55% have become aware of them in the last five years (10% of whom learnt of them on the day of the meeting!!)..... Great to see an increasing awareness of our endangered biodiversity.
