Saving a great naturalist’s home

A CAMPAIGN is under way to raise $1 million towards maintaining the museum in Selborne, Hampshire, founded in memory of the influential 18th-century naturalist and writer the Revd Gilbert White (Legacy, February 19). As an independent museum without public subsidy, increasing utility and staffing costs and a reduction in traditional funding streams are exerting a heavy toll on resources. Anne Edward, of the Funding Development team, reports of the campaign, launched in the spring with a letter to The Times: 'It has started well, with about $28,000 raised from the public to date. If we can inspire 150,000 individuals to donate just $7 in our 70th anniversary year, this will enable us to reach our target. At the same time, we've been active in grant fundraising and have received generous support to assist with core operations.'

Give us, this day, our sustainable daily bread

Solar, so good

The thought of losing of productive arable land to renewable-energy developments can be dispiriting and alarming, but informed local knowledge may be the key to their successful design, argues William Kendall

No job too big

Britain's native breeds and their grazing talents are an integral part of the drive to balance food production with biodiversity recovery. Kate Green explains why we should look closer to home in the quest to re-create the natural habitats of the past

Blue-chip performance

THERE are certain plants that weave their way into one's affections over a period of years. For me, agapanthus is one such beauty. The African lily is its most frequently used common name, but Lily of the Nile bestows upon it an even greater air of exoticism, even if the river is hundreds of miles distant from the plant's South African home.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Canny collectors should swoop in when an artist falls out of fashion—but always pay attention to quality, because even the greatest names, such as Picasso, made the odd pot-boiler
