'Just keep going': Margaret Bradshaw the horse-riding 97-year-old botanist battling for England’s wildflowers
Margaret Bradshaw has spent decades studying Teesdale - and is fighting to preserve its unique mix of plants.
Margaret Bradshaw crouches on all fours on Widdybank Fell in Teesdale, being drenched by sheets of horizontal rain. The 97-year-old botanist mumbles the names of arcane plants as she scours the damp ground.
This part of the uplands is a seemingly empty landscape, heavily grazed by sheep, but it hides botanical treasures that have been here for more than 10,000 years. Some of the plants can't be found anywhere else in the UK and - until Bradshaw arrived on the scene - many were unaccounted for.
Bradshaw is the chief caretaker of some of the country's rarest flowers. She has spent seven decades obsessively studying the unique arctic-alpine flora of Teesdale, in the north of England.

Kew Gardens' Alexandre Antonelli: 'We may be losing species before we even notice them'
Ahead of the organisation's report into the state of our flora and fungi, its director of science Alexandre Antonelli talks about his work as a biogeographer and how our diet can make a difference.
Alexandre Antonelli is director of science at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and a professor of systematics and biodiversity at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He spoke to the Observer ahead of this week's launch of the organisation's seminal report The State of the World's Plants and Fungi, which last took stock in 2020. He is also the author of The Hidden Universe: Adventures in Biodiversity (Ebury Press, £14.99).
