Nature walk: Horsenden’s ancient wood
11 May 2024 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Explore Horsenden’s ancient wood with our expert guide Martin Smith. Horsenden Wood is a remnant of ancient woodland with a history of at least 400 years of tree cover.
There are around 50 tree species mainly English or pedunculate oak and hornbeam. The stand-out tree is the wild service tree. This rare, slow growing tree is an ancient woodland indicator. There are three to be found here and some self-seeded saplings are growing.
Discover these and other ancient trees and learn about the history and management of this special place that has such important historical and environmental significance.
Meet in the car park opposite the Ballot Box public house for a 10.00am start finishing approximately 12.00. There is a small charge of £5 per person (children 12 and under free). Please wear appropriate footwear and clothing
