March 2016 - Ignorant planting of daffodils

 

Unfortunately, it has been found that individual(s) have been planting  garden type daffodils at the wood. Whilst this may be well-meaning, only woodland type flowers can be planted and with the owners' permission. No such permission has been requested or granted and so a friendly warning to whoever is responsible to please cease!

July 2016 - Butterfly survey

 

This month, members of the Trust took part in a butterfly survey to identify what types frequent Harmers Wood. This was the first year the Trust has carried out the survey and it hopes to turn it into an annual event. We were delighted to find six varieties of butterfly during the course of one week whilst carefully checking each day across the 9 acre site.
