June – Lush and Leafy

By June, Pinewoods is deep green and thriving. Ferns unfurl, foxgloves rise along paths, and insects hum in the warm air.

Butterflies such as speckled wood and meadow brown are common along sunny rides. Dragonflies may patrol the wet patches.

The woodland is at its most vibrant, full, fragrant and buzzing with life.

The woodland is lush and thriving.
