Description

Would you like to learn more about identifying native British Trees?

Come and join Neill Talbot from Avellana Ecology who will help you identify tree species and focus on particular features to look out for in springtime.

This walk will take place in the Wansdyke Wood area of Great Avon Wood that has been planted with saplings and orchard trees.

The land runs alongside the old Wansdyke earthworks which over the years has grown up with a range of native trees which enjoy the wetter ground there.

We will also look at the trees and other fauna in the wooded area running alongside the Publow Brook: this is a small stretch of ancient woodland and Neill will help identify the ‘ancient woodland indicator species’ that enable us to understand more about the age of these woods.
