Some build and setup photos from recycled pallet to mini woodland stage for Acoustic In The Woods.

We’re lucky to be able to produce our own tree stumps and planks which saves a lot of time and money.

Events like this are so fun to work on - especially on ridiculously tight budgets - because you have to get creative. And we’ve always got our eye on a plan b in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.

One of the privileges of running a project like this is the range of different directions we end up going in. It’s hard work, but really rewarding.

We really appreciate everyone who supports our work and believes in what we are doing 🙏🌳

Honey Fungus (Armillaria mellea) is a parasitic fungi that covers several species, some more pathogenic than others.

A natural woodland inhabitant it favours dead wood and infects trees spreading underground through rhizomorphs, which can grow for many meters and live for extended periods. There is no effective means of controlling it due to the way it spreads which makes it particularly dangerous in gardens.

It appears in early Autumn and as it matures the fruiting bodies, mushrooms, produce copious white spores that darken over time.

Another really fun session with our two students last week. They are both studying Land & Wildlife Management which is a great course and very much inline with what we do here.

As it's autumn, we started our first mushroom survey - the number of mushrooms in the wood right now is WILD!

During our search Freya found a very cool but unidentified mammal bone. If you’ve any suggestions please pop them in the comments!

We also spotted a large - potentially dangerous - dead larch that was leaning, hooked up, beside the permissive path. After the session I went back a cleared it, which is always a challenge when working with rotten dead wood.

There’s so much to do at this time of year. Amongst all the practical work is one of the most exciting things we’re working on - our first ‘survey diary’. This will give us a framework to collect meaningful data over the calendar year about the changes in flora and fauna on the site. If you’ve ecology experience or enthusiasm and you’d like to be involved please let us know!
