"“The sheep thrive. They absolutely love the panels during the summer – everywhere they go there’s shade. There’s constantly green food underneath them.”
The microclimate under the panels also retains moisture longer, giving grass a better chance to establish and persist through dry spells.
But Inder says he doesn’t just have happy sheep, the quality of the wool and the wool yield has improved."

"The centre, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary next month, champions projects aimed at reviving wildflower-rich meadows, 97% of which have been lost in the past 80 years. But Juliet Rose, the head of development at the Eden Project, where the NWC is based, said changing weather patterns due to the climate emergency were making it harder to find a slot to sow wildflower seed." https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/aug/21/eden-project-wildflower-centre-issues-climate-warning-as-it-marks-25th-year Solar PV farms to the rescue?
