Date for Floral Survey Agreed
We have agreed, with our friends from the Worthing Botanical Recording Society, that the Floral Survey for 2010 will start on the 12th of April.
Bluebells and 2nd Year Coppice
For many years we have surveyed the cant coppiced in the current season and that cut the previous season. This allows us to monitor the flora when it is relatively easy to enter the cant, and also gives an indication of the success of coppicing in promoting biodiversity. If you would like to get involved in this year’s survey you will be very welcome. We will meet in the Small Dole Village Hall Car Park at 10:00. No specialist knowledge or equipment is required, but naturally experienced botanists would be very useful. The wood may be muddy so wear old clothes and suitable footwear.
Common Spotted Orchid
