Field trip - Bentley Wood, Sat 25th May

Andrew Graham is leading a walk through Bentley Wood, West Dean with a focus on butterflies.
 
Meet at the Nadder Centre car park for a 9:30am departure or at Bentley Wood Eastern Car Park, West Dean,  for a 10:30 am start. (GR SU 258 291. What3Words: filled.village.screeches)

There is no limit on this field trip, but if you could let us know beforehand it helps with organising car shares and knowing if you plan to meet us at West Dean.
​
Bentley Wood is a 1,700 acre (688 ha.) nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, roughly 7 miles east of Salisbury, that has been worked for at least 2,000 years (and is still commercially managed today, though with a view to conservation).
