Leadburn Community Woodland – October 2026

In general the leaves have been slow to turn this autumn but, on the Woodland, the yellow of the now soaring aspens and red berries of the viburnum opulus (guelder rose) have been spectacular.

Volunteers have been working to flatten heather ridges (remaining from the old Forestry plantation) thus encouraging the peat below to re-wet.

Re-growth (also from the old Forestry plantation) continues to produce plenty of potential Christmas trees – both sitka spruce and lodgepole pines.
