PAWs for thought

Gareth will be attending a Woodland Trust event tomorrow about Ancient Woodland Restoration, with a particular focus on Plantation on Ancient Woodland sites (PAWs). The event is being held at Northern College with a site visit to Bagger Wood; a nearby woodland being managed by the Woodland Trust. It should be a good opportunity to learn more about work being done locally to restore woodlands and meet some like-minded folk.

We spent some time at the weekend with the wildlife of Lincolnshire culminating in an excellent showing of grey seals at Donna Nook - a military firing range and nature reserve which provides a massive nursery site for these magnificent mammals. Over 800 pups born so far this year, last years count was 1528! Well worth a visit before early December if you can fit it in.
