Unlocking Landscapes

The Sussex Weald: the octopus beech tree


Listen Later

In this shorter episode I recorded a circular walk from home, checking up on an old beech tree in an area of woodland known as the Sussex Weald.

This is the first outdoor pod for Unlocking Landscapes, with lots of natural soundscapes to enjoy: mud, ice, streams, bog and birdsong.

The areas of interest here are:

  • Woodland streams, known in this area as 'gills'
  • Heathlands and plantations
  • Wood ants
  • Sphagnum moss bogs
  • Ancient and veteran trees, especially beech (Fagus sylvatica)
  • I'd love to know what you think  of this type of episode and if you'd like to hear more in future.

    Thanks so much for listening and I hope you enjoy.
