The woodland restoration project at Maidenhead Thicket is entering an exciting phase.
Maidenhead Thicket is a wooded area of big ancient trees. Until last year there was also a redundant larch plantation where little wildlife lived.
We removed the plantation last year to improve biodiversity and this year we're re-planting half of the area with native British trees. This new generation of oak, hornbeam, elm and others will allow much more wildlife to thrive.
New homes for wildlife
Making their home there will be more insects such as the impressive-looking stag beetle and butterflies such as white-letter hairstreaks, white admirals, purple emperors and silver-washed fritillaries.
How you can help
The rangers are looking for tree-lovers to sponsor a sapling or two at £15 per sapling.
