Seed harvest in the Yorkshire Dales.
Conservation staff in the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA) have been out collecting seeds from wild juniper bushes - to ensure they survive in the future. Thousands have been collected in the past few weeks from three sites and are currently in the hands of experts in a professional tree nursery in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The YDNPA's wildlife conservation officer, Frances Graham, said juniper bushes - which produce berries used in cooking and to flavour gin - are on a national watch-list because their numbers are declining dramatically.
`Juniper (Juniperus communis ssp. communis) is one of only three conifer species native to Britain and it is on the UK list of priority habitats for biodiversity action', she said. `In the Yorkshire Dales, it can range from a spreading shrub to a column-like tree.
`It was once widespread in the upland fringes of northern England, growing often as a shrub in open woodland with Birch, Rowan, Alder, Hawthorn and Hazel. However, nationally there was a dramatic reduction in juniper distribution up to 1960 due to a combination of factors such as changes in land management'.
