For a summer stroll amongst examples of Rushcliffes best flora why not come to Wilwell Nature Reserve Open Day, which is on Saturday 11^th June for a range of summer wildflowers including Southern Marsh Orchids, Knapweed, Ladies Bedstraw and many others uncommon to the area. Many of the flowers will be labeled and information sheets posted about the wildlife, the reserve and the, work of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and we will also have a nature table set up. In the past couple of years we have been doing a lot of work to control the scrub encroachment on the wildflower meadows and have opened up the railway embankment and marsh areas. Wilwell is on the B680 running between Ruddington and Wilford Village – coming from Ruddington it is on the left just before the ring road bridge and the entrance will be signed. It is one of for Notts Wildlife Trust reserves in the area, so look out for events at Bunny Wood, Skylarks and Wilford Claypits. The open day is from 10am till 4pm, car parking available.
