Eddie Asbery, Reserves Biodiversity Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says, “March may have gone out like a lion, but don’t let that deter you from getting a breath of fresh air. Join us in a woodland management session at Ryton Wood, improving the habitat for the thirty five species of butterfly, including the endangered Wood White, which live there. Or maybe you would like to improve your knowledge of our native tree species? Then join in with our woodland walk around Kenilworth Common. Whichever activity takes your fancy, you will have a great day out. See you there.”
