The Walsham Wild Wood held their second Midsummer Picnic on the 24th June. Unfortunately the football match and a very hot day resulted in fewer people attending than last year. However the picnic was still a success with delicious donated food, plenty to drink and activities for the children including a new Nature Trail which took the them around the whole site.
The AGM was held on the 5th July. A quiet year was reported at the Wood but there was an unusual plant surprise when a clump of broom rape was found growing for the first time. This is a parasitic herbaceous plant with seeds that can be dormant in the soil for many years.
It was also reported that Alison Martin has stepped down as Secretary after 6 years. Alison was was thanked for all her hard work and commitment to the project. John Stebbing was elected as Secretary, Richard Belson was re-elected as the Treasurer and Lorna MacKinnon was re-elected as Chair.
