A programme of coppicing was carried out by David Bevan to let in light and allow natural regeneration. Here you will find Species recorded along the stream in 2006/07, all are now present. The first list on the left is a count of plantlife recorded before the 2006 coppice, and the right hand column is the additional finds after the coppice. The difference is amazing, what a bit of sunlight can do!
