Adel Bog – looking to the East
Adel Bog is a wonderful haven of tranquillity in the middle of Adel Woods.
Working with a smile!
Over the last six years Friends of Adel Woods and other groups have done a lot of work to prevent it disappearing through the process of succession – the gradual change from bog to oak woodland – because the bog is a special habitat in the context of Adel Woods, home to a number of plants like the heath spotted orchid, bog asphodel, tormentil.
Clearing brambles
Today, an enthusiastic group of volunteers, under the guidance of Steve Joul, senior ranger with Leeds City Council, spent a happy couple of hours removing tree seedlings and bramble from the bog.
Have a look at our blog entry for 16 July for some pictures of the flowers in the woods.
