Flooding and its impact on the Somerset Levels

Posted by Craig McGinty on September 26, 2013 at 10:37am in Weather

Just what impact does climate change have on land based and horticultural industries? The Guardian visits the Somerset Levels and sees how the harvesting of willow has already had to change.

Bonfire night always reminds Jonathan Coate, whose family has grown and harvested willow on the Somerset Levels for almost 200 years, of the changing climate all around him. When he was a boy the workers used to stoke up the fire on Guy Fawkes using the offcuts of harvested willow sticks, but no longer. They do not even begin harvesting until December because the late autumn and early winter have become so mild in this tucked-away corner of south-west England. By 5 November there are no offcuts for the fire.
