A new chapter in woodland creation
This year’s planting season has been a remarkable one, with more vibrant new woodland being created and another significant step taken on our journey to grow and protect a huge broadleaf forest for generations to come.
Not everything hides away in the winter
Winter is a time that is usually associated with cold, darkness and a lack of bug-life flying around! But did you know that there many invertebrates still active during this period?
Fungi in the Forest
Many species of fungi can be spotted all year round, but you will see a particularly widespread array of different mushrooms and toadstools on autumnal walks.
Fixed point photography in the Forest
Over the year, volunteers have started taking fixed point photography in set locations across the Forest. Their photographs will help record the geographical and environmental changes in the Forest over time.
Come and explore the autumn colours in the Arboretum
Unlike the trees that we plant in the rest of the Forest which are native broadleaf species, in the Arboretum you will discover a diverse collection of trees from around the world.
