Hayley Wood visit - Thursday 27 March

Twelve Abington Naturewatch members went on a visit to Hayley Wood, near St Neots, at the end of March. This is an ancient woodland now owned by the county wildlife trust and is once again being actively coppiced. We went particularly to see the abundant population of rare oxlips, related to cowslips, which grow there on the damp clay soil. David F took these photos:
