Lichens and mosses, not just ancient trees

Visible to anyone in the world

I never thought I'd see that day when I would be placing my nose within a few centimetres of a tree and spending up to half an hour in this way examining the lichens and mosses. There is quite a variety when you get to know them. 

Trees that fell in the October 1987 storm, oak in particular, have a treasure trove of glories on which to feast the eyes.

My purpose is to help achieve a Site of Special Scientific Interest for 50 acres of ancient woodland here in East Sussex.
