Jervis Wood
My friend purchased this small wood a few years ago. It was very run down when he got it. He has worked really hard to create habitats. The array of wildflower species was lovely. Not rare things but usually we see a few of these species not all in the same wood. He has taken out the dead wood and stacked it in discrete piles, mostly hidden behind foliage. He has planted lots of saplings of different species. He has made and put up bird boxes and built a hide with a feeding station. There are cameras to capture the wildlife all over the place and it is a private wood. The wood is the tail end of Trentham forest. So it would have been there for a couple of hundred years. The River Trent runs alongside the wood and the bank is full of plants.
