Despite the weather we had a successful walk around Whinney Hill to learn about Winter tree ID. Whinney Hill is one of the woodlands in our Hyndburn Woodlands Project and has an excellent circular walk with a wide variety of trees and views of the surrounding area. On todays walk we identified Hazel, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Guelder Rose, Whitebeam, Aspen, Alder, Oak, Silver Birch, Willow and Spindle. We run regular volunteering sessions in the woods and will also be holding more walks and training courses in the New Year. For more information contact Roger Plum at roger.plum@prospectsfoundation.org.uk or on 01254 230348. All activities are sent on our mailing list so if you’re not already on it sign up to get details of all upcoming events.
