Following a period of dry weather, recent rainfall has provided relief to the pastures and hedgerows at Larkrise. The precipitation has helped green the landscape, which had previously suffered from scorched conditions, and has cleared debris from local lanes. While water levels in streams remain low and springs are only trickling, a check of a century-old well on the property indicates that water reserves are currently better than initial projections suggested.

Larkrise, a 10-acre rewilding project situated on the northern edge of the parish with views toward Kit Hill and Dartmoor, is showing increased biological activity. The land, characterized by poorly drained soil, is currently experiencing a surge in growth. The boundary hedges are notably productive, featuring a variety of seasonal flora including purple sloes, blackberries, and scarlet rose hips. While the report remains optimistic about the site's recovery, the author notes that caution regarding water usage remains necessary due to the lingering effects of the dry season.
