Preserve the Magic for Generations to Come

As custodians of nature, we must protect the bluebells and their delicate habitat. Adhering to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, we ensure the conservation of these woods, by not harming the flowers during our photography sessions.

• Stick to Established Paths: When exploring the bluebell woods, stay on designated paths to avoid trampling on the flowers and damaging their delicate ecosystem.

• Educate Others: If you see others disregarding the protection of bluebells, kindly explain the importance of preserving these flowers and their habitat.

• Minimize Your Impact: Be mindful of your movements and avoid crushing the flowers. Take care when setting up tripods or other equipment to prevent damage to the bluebells.

• Leave No Trace: Take all your litter and belongings with you when you leave the bluebell woods, leaving behind only footprints and capturing beautiful memories.

By respecting these guidelines, we can ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of bluebell woods.
