Spring has sprung in ancient Gloucestershire woodland

Mary Gagen, chief advisor on forests at the WWF UK, said even the fallen trees were providing wildlife with a place to liveThe RSPB's Nagshead in Parkend recently featured in Sir David Attenborough's BBC series Wild Isles.

Assistant warden Emily Bennett said that the changing seasons were currently evident at the site, with "loads of toads and frogs in the pond". Mary Gagen, chief advisor on forests at the WWF UK, said they have just discovered that the "biggest, oldest trees in our woodlands are storing about twice as much carbon than we used to think"."They might have a hollow centre. They might have patches of decaying wood and all of those different little bits of a big, beautiful old oak tree and beech tree, like some of the ones we see here, are providing places for our wildlife to live.

'Oak trees were initially planted on the site to help build ships in the 18th Century to help the UK fend off invasions and seek out new land to colonise' Take a day off. 🙄
