Anybody who has been on Dave's fungal foray walks will already know how informative and entertaining they are. This one will make you fall for insects as well as fungi.

ever wanted to cut down trees BUT IN A GOOD WAY? Coppicing is an ancient method of managing woodland in a way that is sustainable and encourages biodiversity. And we’ll be doing some in Highfield next week! Come and have a go!
