No #tinyplants for #wildflowerhour but beautiful blossoms of #WonkyWood all the same. Red champion and green alkanet, with apple blossom and cowslips about to burst into bloom @wildflower_hour

Freedom for the first batch of fostered froglets. Back to Wonky Wood where their spawn was laid. Some were reluctant to explore but others hopped off into the grass immediately.

Thank the heavens for rain. You can sense the woodland joyfully soaking it all in. 500+ newly planted trees and our desperate ponds really, really needed this.

We have a small pond that dries up every Spring but frogs still love to lay their spawn in it. This year we've had 2 schools & several households fostering tadpoles whilst they develop & the first froglets are now ready to return to Wonky Wood.

Are you exploring a spring woodland with family over the Easter break? Sticking to paths, brushing down boots and wiping paws & wheels before you leave can all help prevent the spread of tree pests and diseases. Find out more: gov.uk/guidance/preve… #TreeHealth #KeepItClean

Male & female hazel flowers @ #WonkyWood. The male blooms (left) are pretty obvious & a welcome sign of spring but it's fun to hunt for the tiny tufty female flowers (right) too. #NorthDownsAONB #Spring

Watching woodland regeneration is wonderful and it's exciting to see what pops up. We recently found this little Norway maple quietly growing under the protection of a broom bush.

Our final batch of home grown trees were planted out yesterday. A little late but anticipated train this week will help them settle at #WonkyWood

A quick dip in our oldest woodland pond found several dragonfly (Hawker?) larvae. Despite them being all pretty & fairy-like as flying adults, these are voracious predators in a pond. They also spend years in water before metamorphosis into the adult flying form. #KentDownsAONB

Time by the fire is never wasted. This morning willow sticks were debarked & cooked to make artists charcoal. Shredded bark was toasted for tinder. Strips of inner bark became a simple cordage bracelet. Thank you willow for your wonderful gifts 💚 @_swog @smallwoodsuk

Orange ladybird (Halyzia sedecimguttata) loves a log pile. Fortunately they're well catered for at #WonkyWood 🤗 @Buzz_dont_tweet #KentDownsAONB

We found an amazing calendar from @NHM_London summarising wildlife survey schemes throughout the year. If you want to learn more about green spaces & local urban nature, this is a great place to start: #CitSci #CitizenScience nhm.ac.uk/take-part/moni…

Congratulations on the pregnancy but the trees and bees at Wonky Wood really don't care about your gender reveal. #Balloonskillwildlife. Just make a cake. @KeepBritainTidy
