Our thanks to all for your support, for your concerns and suggestions and for the extra signatures. Your objections have been added not just to ours and the woodland expert's, but to those of local ecologists, bird experts, moth experts, fungi experts, tree experts, environmental and climate experts, members of the Ancient Tree Forum and Warwickshire CPRE.

So the level of concern is by no means insignificant and we cannot understand why no-one seems to be listening.

The rare trees that are under threat are providing habitat that supports not only endangered species, including Red-Listed birds, Red Data Book Moths and very rare fungi, but also most of the other flora and fauna you would hope to find in an ancient woodland.

There are other rarities that you might not expect to find like wild honey bees and the surviving Elms, seen in the photo.

What does it take to get the Trusts to leave this one small bit of woodland to Nature when she is doing such a fantastic job?

If you are a new signatory, you might like to look at some of the past Updates which will give you more information including 2 films of the wildlife in this beautiful wood.
