Re: If you go down to the woods today.........
Took a stroll in to the Fordham wood SSSI today, which is a wet valley bottom woodland.
Great site, its like venturing into a land that time forgot. Mainly alder, willow & ash .

Re: If you go down to the woods today.........
a good nettle rashing bimble indeed
 Will be fascinating to see what fungal delights unfurl over the next few months, particularly being such a damp site .

David, the site is Oxleas woodland. The skateboard was already there. It's about 4 miles from my house.

It's a SSSI but not sure what the designation is for apart from it being ancient woodland. Any ideas ? Is Haarkon at home in the woods or is he more of a snow child .

Re: If you go down to the woods today.........
Haakon loves the woods. Loads Places to run and scramble about. He had a few woodland tasks from school. So whenever they do woodland stuff at school we pop up the woods and he educates me... Haha.
As for the sssi status, I am not sure. It is in Greenwich borough so there might be something on their website. |

 If you haven't already, have a look at the WT's Nature detectives web site & club, it's a fine resource and packed with great seasonal ideas for kids to get involved in and around woodlands .

Re: If you go down to the woods today.........
Good website that, David. I'm going to use it to try to get Lisa's nephew more interested in outdoorsy stuff.
