A quick blog to report on today’s walk along Roman Road/Sandy Lane, organised and led by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust.  The walk was well attended and started with the usual run-down of what to look out for both interesting and things to avoid!  The short history of Scarlet Tiger Project was explained and we set off. … Continue reading A walk in the sunshine

Apologies for the delay in this blog but nature has been hectic catching up.  After such a slow start, spring seems to have collided with summer and this is reflected in the growth of hedgerows and blooming of flowers.  The above photo was taken earlier today and is the area our volunteers sowed earlier this… Continue reading Bloomin’ Lovely!
