Part of the work that we carry out in
the wood, with the help of various experts, is the monitoring and
recording of plant and animal species that we find.
We have now recorded over two hundred different types of flowering
plants and grasses, many of which are closely associated with the
coppice management that is carried out within the wood.
Moth and fungi surveys are ongoing. With information
gained from these studies we have been able to make minor changes
to our woodland
management to help conserve specific rare species.
