The UK is home to more than half of the world’s population of the bluebell, and their presence is an indication that you’re walking within a very old woodland.
A number of Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserves provide the perfect habitat for these unmistakable woodland flowers, with their heavy purple-blue bells and bending stems. Enjoy this quintessential sign of the British spring now while the bluebells are at their best.
Here are the top 5 Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserves for bluebell displays:

On Thursday, 19th April, the Local Group enjoyed a well-researched talk by Ailsa Wildig on the plants of Warley Place. Ailsa is an architect with a special interest in garden conservation. Her talk looked at the history of Warley Place and how the gardens came to be developed in the hands of Miss Ellen Willmott.

Work Parties are carried out on the second Sunday of every month. Summer activities include installing deer fences on the reserve.
Essex Wildlife Trust are looking for a Living Landscapes Secretary to minute quarterly Living Landscapes meetings.
The meetings occur on a Friday morning (usually 10am to 12pm) approximately every quarter (the next meeting is due to take place on Friday 18th May). The location varies but will be somewhere within the Danbury Ridge LL area (including Little Baddow, Woodham Walter, Bicknacre, Purleigh, etc.) so someone within this area the Maldon or Chelmsford area would be ideal.
The morning started cool and misty and the late spring meant we knew there would be no nightingales to find. Early arrivals however were greeted with the increasingly rare sound, in Essex at least, of a distant cuckoo and it called on several more occasions during our walk. We soon heard chiffchaffs singing and eventually had good views, but blackcaps seemed to be absent though we knew they had arrived at other local sites.
The Danbury Ridge, east of Chelmsford, is home to many amazing species of wildlife, including the adorable Hazel Dormice, shy Brown Hares and beautiful Yellowhammers, but continued fragmentation of their habitat here and elsewhere in Essex means they need our help. 
Wildlife needs to move to survive – to find food, to find shelter, to breed and to escape threats. Planting hedgerows helps them to do it.
