Hello all, I am a new owner of almost four acres of woodland in Essex which is part of a hundred acre wood. Yes, there are still a few trees remaining in Essex! The first task is building a meandering trail through the wood, which is taking a bit of time as we stop and identify fungi, plants and trees along the way. I am building a photo diary but its not accessible by others yet. I am a birder as well, and the wood is frequented by a pair of Buzzards. We had a pair of Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers, and the place was lousy with Blackcaps this spring and summer. Its a lovely spot and so much fun already. Working on a management plan as well, and also still deciding the best place for a campsite. Lots to do!
