| Burnham Beeches A National Nature Reserve |
Almost every week Chris and I cycle through
Burnham Beeches and are impressed with the primordial feeling of these trees
and their terrain.
 |
| The City of London thoughtfully manages these trees |
The City of London Corporation bought Burnham
Beeches in 1879. It now manages the five hundred acres really thoughtfully.
The
woodland has been regularly pollarded and many trees now several hundred years
old. And the dead wood in and around these wonderful trees provides a happy
home for wildlife.
We peddle past, chatting, as beetles bugs and
birds among the sixty species of plants and animals here no doubt gawp
at us.
