Orchid Season of 2023


Picture
Update - Season 2023.
 

After much preparation by Friends of Tuckmill volunteers, the

Orchid season of 2023 began with a large number of rosettes

appearing in late April and early May. In late May and early June,

huge numbers of Southern Marsh Orchids appeared in  both the

West and East meadows, triple the number from the previous

​ year.

In early summer 23 were several visits by local groups of Guides and Cub Scouts
They both built some dams in the meadow stream for the function of slowing the water down and allowing pools to build up behind them to encourage insects, animals and birds. And they work !
