Wilwell Invertebrates
Tim Williams, one of the wardens of Wilwell has been undertaking some research on the invertebrates on the reserve and he has put together some brief reports of his methodology and findings. The first is on the leaf litter and the second is on hawthorn bark. I found them very interesting and I hope they might encourage others to try something similar.
