Flower Walk
Wednesday, October 31st 2012
Every month during the year, volunteers with an interest in botany take a walk around the reserve recording every species of flower that is seen. During the summer this can be a very long job with over 100 species recorded. During the late autumn and winter this is a much quicker job, though there are still a surprising number of flowers about.
Today, 28 species were recorded including Self Heal and Heather.
These walks provide us with a fantastic record of what is to be found on the reserve, thank you to everyone who is involved during the year.
