In the middle of April, committee members Richard Sylvester and Chris Bates spent a pleasant 2 hours having a gentle walk around the woodland to complete a plant survey of what we have in the main part of the woodland. We didn’t record trees or shrubs, just the ground flora. Full results will be soon available but while there were no surprises in what we found, it was good to record a wide variety of typical woodland flowers for the local area. Of course, with more expert knowledge, some plants could have been classified in to sub-species, but this would have required expert knowledge! However, here are a few of the plants we recorded; wood avens, red campion, primrose, bugle, violet species, lesser celandine, bluebell, common sorrel, rush species, common nettle, wood avens and lords & ladies.
