Photographs of the flora and fauna, taken by local supporters. Glow-worms mating, a slow-worm slithering, a swan admiring its own reflection, a badger in search of supper, an orchid pretending to be a bee … Please send us your own photographs.

Trap Grounds Poetry and Prose
Someone once described a visit to the Trap Grounds as “like entering another world, a place full of secrets and surprises”. Listen for the plop of a water vole as you walk along the boardwalk … sit in the wildflower meadow and wait for a fox to saunter past … let inspiration come to you. Then send us your thoughts, in poetry or prose.
