Eddie
Asbery, Woodland Project Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says,
Its official! Spring arrives at Easter weekend. There are already so
many signs of new life to celebrate lambs skipping in the fields, birds
nesting, and already there are so many spring flowers out. Bluebells have
already been recorded in bloom in the West Country, and although the
bluebells on our reserves are still dormant, why not join one our many work
parties to see for yourself just how far spring has advanced and to
participate in making sure that the reserves are in tip-top condition for
all our plant and animal populations.
