Fabulous Foxgloves in South Wood!
This is the area where we began bringing back coppice rotation a few years ago, and what a difference it has made. The following Spring, the Bluebells immediately boomed, producing beautiful deep displays that everyone remarked upon.
Then this year brought a lovely surprise. As the Bluebells wilted, we started to see Foxglove leaves emerging. Then more and more.
And right now, this extraordinary sea of dark pink spikes. Tall and vivid, hundreds and hundreds. More than I have ever seen anywhere before, utterly spectacular!
They’ve not been recorded in this part of the wood for at least 20 years, they must have been dormant until the canopy opened and the sun hit the woodland floor.
If you’d like to get involved with looking after South Wood and helping to give nature a hand, get in touch. We have conservation volunteering sessions here on Mondays and Wednesdays. You never know, you might be part of the next unexpected Foxglove restoration wave!

We'd like to say a massive thank you to all of the amazing conservation volunteers who have been coming out with us this year. We've been so busy and achieved so much, making a huge difference to green spaces and nature!
From woodland management to path creation, from natural flood management and leaky dams to invasive species removal, from delicate wildflowers to great big habitat piles and deadwood hedges... you have been out there in all weathers, gloves on, boots on, and really getting stuck in!
Thank you, everyone. You are brilliant!

Last week, we were at The Horder Centre in Crowborough talking to staff about our new Green Gym that starts next week.
🌻Top line: Wellbeing in nature, weekly sessions, free to take part, no commitment. Activities such as gardening, woodlands, nature paths & conservation; can be as easy as you like to suit all abilities.🌻
We met physiotherapists, nurses, porters, estates and the Chief Exec to tell them all about Green Gym so they can recommend it to patients, visitors and the community. Some of them even joined in with the first task, clearing overgrown brambles in front of a pretty seating area. As well as lots of snipping, we spotted two frogs and a host of small orchid rosettes just waiting to burst into full glory.
Get in touch if you'd like to get involved - contact [email protected].

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES WITH WILDLIFE FOR ALL

If you're wanting to make a genuine difference, The Wildlife For All Trust is looking to expand its team. We’re a pioneering charity with a refreshingly different and deeper approach. Amongst other projects, we run a huge nature reserve in South Africa.

We train our team members to understand how attitude has a huge impact on project success. No previous conservation experience is required. We provide all the necessary training to be part of our highly successful work.

You need to be willing to challenge yourself, learn to work hard, and want to be the best you can be.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity.

Please visit wildlifeforall.org for further details, including how to apply for an interview (see our Interviews page).

We look forward to hearing from you.
