The recent sunny dry weather has led to spectacular numbers of butterflies at Alners Gorse and very satisfying views of Brown, White-letter and Purple Hairstreaks, White Admirals and Silver-washed Fritillaries for the crowds of butterfly watchers and photographers who have visited the reserve.
The warm conditions have also dried out the ground beautifully, which has enabled us to bring the mobile saw-bench into the woodland to process some of the oak, pine and spruce trunks that have been stored there for the last two years.
We have supplies of standard sizes in softwood (2″x”2, 6″x1″, 3″x2″ etc) and a number of oak posts and other pieces for sale at very reasonable prices!
Please contact [email protected] if you would be interested in buying some of this timber, ot placing an order for our next session – ideal for raised beds, nestboxes, fencing, or that garden shed or kennel you are yearning to build!
