| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
I have been coppicing this woodland at Wimpole. This is one of the few beautiful plants that live here, it likes wet clay ground and adds a great colour to the woodland ground layer.
Although a semi ancient woodland the floral divesity is pretty poor, probably as there seemed to have been a medieval village here so the woodland is a secondary woodland site. The true flowers of ancient woodlands have never recolonised in the 400 years that this has been a woodland. Goes to show that once lost its almost impossible to get back the original forest ecology back unless humans actively help to some extent. |
