A quiet moment in the Strathdearn Community Woods, where native wildflowers provide an important source of food for our pollinators. These busy bumblebees were captured visiting the thistle heads on a summer afternoon, a reminder of the rich biodiversity thriving on our doorstep. Every visit to the woods offers something new to discover.
A lazy bumblebee drifts low,
Where thistle crowns and wild weeds grow.
Along the path by a stream so clear,
The warmth of summer settles here.
Past young and newly-planted apple trees,
That dance in the soft, green river breeze,
Beneath the ancient, towering line
Of a watchful, rusted Scots pine.
