friends of coombeswood Wedge

   Coombeswood is host to lots of different bird species - some resident, some passing through on migration. A number of the species seen on Coombeswood are red status meaning that they are sadly no longer common in the UK. 

Coombeswood also attracts other flora and fauna all supporting its rich biodiversity. Ancient woodland and hedgerows feature within the site and play home to many different birds, insects and flowers. Coombeswood is known for rare butterflies and moths including the Green hairstreak and Meadow white. 

The Friends ofCoombeswood Wedge in conjunction with the Woodland Trust will be working to enhance the rich biodiversity of  by means of replanting in some areas to encourage and sustain the wealth of birds, butterflies and insects the site attracts.
