Winter Tidy up
16 January 2013
Mature native trees such as oak, elm and willow are covered in crevices and gnarly branches, perfect for providing roosts for birds and bats alike. Even in winter when the trees lose their leaves they continue to provide shelter from the elements with their web of nooks and crannies. Our native yew trees and Scots pine don't lose their leaves in winter and along with other evergreen trees and hedgerows they provide warmth through the core winter months for hibernating bats and roosting birds.
