Fiona Hodge gets excited by all things green and growing. She has battled giant waves to collect seaweed hybrids, climbed mountains for alpine flowers, and braved persistent rain in pursuit of botanical data from the depths of New Zealand's temperate rainforests.
Her blog will showcase some of the many charms and delights of The Silent Majority: the prolific collection of plants, seaweeds, lichens, slime moulds and other fascinating non-vocals that quietly share our world.
The blog is also a tribute to the secret-hunters: the scientists who reveal the stories of those who cannot speak.
