We had a lovely Saturday morning at our Volunteer Session at Bluebell Woods, lots achieved but at a steady pace, so time to really appreciate the woodland. We specifically looked for natural Oak regeneration and found 11 Oak seedlings (last photo) we carefully weeded and mulched. Everyone's welcome to come along to our next session!

I'm looking forward to our volunteer session this coming Saturday (25th July) The Summer months are a wonderful time to sit back and witness the woodland in its full glory...... well, not sit back too much as we have a few tasks! Our regular litter pick and a check on tree health, alongside a check of our natural regeneration by clearing weeds and a little mulching. Please do bring you iPhones and cameras and send us your snaps of the morning..... we have a little prize for the most liked!

Did you know that Woodlands are natures air conditioners? Through a process called Evapotranspiration they can be 4c cooler and up to 15c cooler than direct sunlight..... You're very welcome to be cool with us at Bluebell Woods on Saturday 25th July at our next volunteer morning, 10am till 12. Refreshments provided (But bring your own mug if you can)

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My! Not quite the Enchanted Forest in Oz but we recorded over 20 species of birds and also butterflies, mason bees, copper back flies and huge spiders! Thank you to all who came along we had an amazing morning amongst the trees and bluebells. All the data and flora and fauna recorded provides a baseline for us to keep improving the woodland for nature. It's lovely to see your hard work pay bio dividends!

Hmmm? Have you ever wondered what animals, trees, flowers and mini beasts live in Bluebell Woods? You have! Well this Saturday 23rd May between 10am and 12 help us find out as we're listening, looking and rummaging to compile a BIG list of everything that calls Bluebell Woods home and..... we have cake! See you there

We had a wonderful morning at Bluebell Community Woodland. What did we do? Well.... we built a Bug Hotel using materials from the woodland, cleared a few of the small habitat piles in the central hazel copse and went on a flora and fauna ID. Amy found an old birds nest and if you look closely you can see plastic netting, it's so important to recycle as much as we can! Our next session is the 23rd May 10 am till 12 we'll be undertaking a 'woodland stocktake' using technology, books and knowledge to record all our flora and fauna and hoping that all our hard work has seen an increase in diversity! (PS we recorded over a dozen birds within the woodland this morning!)

The absolute perfect place to spend your Saturday morning is Bluebell Community Woodland and by sheer chance we have a volunteer session this Saturday (18th April) from 10am till 12. Alongside our regular tasks we will be building and furnishing the very finest 'Bug Hotel' ........ and did I mention the tea and cake?

All the scheduled work in the woodland is now complete and a big thank you to for a great job! You'll notice that in places dead wood on trees has been left to naturally decay and there are a few extra habitat stacks as we manage the woodland to increase its ecological benefit. Thank you for your patience during the works. Our next volunteer session is very soon, keep an eye out for details!

A few action shots from the first day of tree works in our lovely woodland. The focus of the project is safety for our many visitors removing dead wood that is over pathways. We have been very selective in identifying works and taken professional advice and where safe to do so trees are left to natural processes. We'll post as soon as works are complete.
