woodland Lancashire’s EXPLORE
There are approximately 30 species of trees that are considered native to Lancashire. While that may seem like a daunting list, just getting to know a few common species can make a day out a more interesting experience. Native trees are important because they have, over many thousands of years, adapted to our climate and thrive without much interference. Birds and bugs adapt along with these trees and use them for food, shelter, territory and defence. Other plants such as bluebells, also rely on native woods for the right soil and light conditions. We’ve lost a lot of our woodland in the UK, but Lancashire is very lucky to have a plethora of green patches. Why not find your own little woodland oasis. No matter the time of year, heading to a Lancashire woodland will be a rewarding experience. You can learn the various species, see how wildlife utilises each part of the different trees and make learning fun with a few games too. Or just take a few minutes to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and feel of our very special native woods.
