I've been really busy the last few months with family things and have also been involved with the clear up sessions in our local #CommunityWoodland.

A video of what we do - https://youtu.be/G6yFTKI0FV0?si=nHNcN3OLR1rH_IYV

And, finally.

The last photo from the #CommunityWoodland group work yesterday. Apart from the main woodland we also own this path and the rough/waste* ground on the right. The path got cleared yesterday.

* no ground is "waste" but this has been used as a dumping ground / fly tipping area for decades. There's numerous layers of garden waste and other wood and building waste.

Busy day, today

Tree planting - here it was 4 Hazel trees. Hopefully, in time, they will produce nuts for the local red squirrels. The tree protectors are made from fully biodegradable material.

Then, a litter pick in the woodland. Much less litter than the last time.

A great time was had.

Bee on Vetch

I couldn’t believe it! I was photographing this #vetch and along came a #bee and photobombed the image. How lucky am I!

Soil Erosion

Amazing how much of a tree we don't see. #Soil #erosion under a #beech #tree.

Yellow Archangel

This is the #Yellow #Archangel plant. It is a very new introduction to the UK and it is estimated that it came into the country in the late 1960s. It has now made its way into #woodlands.

Wood Sorrel

With its leaves which are reminiscent of clover this small #Wood #Sorrel #flower is absolutely stunning.

Welcome To The Woodlands

While I’ve looked at these plants individually, I think they make a really lovely welcoming entrance to the #woodland. On the left hand side of the path are #blue, #pink and #white #bluebells, while on the right hand side are beautiful white #greater #stitchwort.
