Eddie Asbery, Reserves Woodland Project Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says, “Our woodlands are waking up after winter and are no longer clad in the muted browns and greys of that season. Already the primroses and wood anemones are starring the woodland floors and the buds on the trees are fattening daily. Why not come and see for yourself by joining in with one or more of our woodland walks? Enjoy the hazy blue vistas and heady perfume of the bluebells. Learn to identify some of the other woodland residents. Find out more about the behind-the-scenes work that encourages our visitors to not only come to our wonderful woodlands – but keep on coming back.”
