How the warm weather has created a bumper crop of berries and acorns
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"In recent years, with the climate becoming more unpredictable, it's become even trickier to predict autumn colour. However, this year with the combination of reasonably widespread rainfall in September and a particularly settled spring we should hopefully see a prolonged period of trees moving into senescencewhich leads to the revealing of other pigments that give leaves their autumn colour, as well as a bounty of nuts and berries."
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, including investigative probes into political PAC finances and documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Funding via donations supports sending journalists to gather on-the-ground reporting and keeps reporting available without paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. A summer of sun followed by September rain has produced a mast year across the UK, yielding abundant acorns, conkers and berries. National Trust experts expect a long, colourful autumn as combined rainfall and a settled spring promote prolonged leaf senescence, revealing autumn pigments and a bounty of nuts and berries.
