Our Propagator, Penny, was lucky enough to spot an unusual find in the propagation greenhouses a couple of weeks ago.

We are welcoming back native rare breed Gloucester cattle to graze our downland from early September until the end of February.

This summer we’ve had some busy woodland creatures buzzing around the arboretum with us – bees!...

Cattle are coming back to the downs! In mid-November, a group of Gloucester cattle will be taking up residence on the downland of Westonbirt Arboretum.

What a delightful week the Friends’ staff have had working in the Great Oak Hall as the House Martin’s School of Flying takes off (sorry!)!...

We've always known that we have bats at Westonbirt - but we've never really gone out looking for them.

Snowfall gives us the opportunity to track animals through the snow. If you're lucky you'll get a glimpse of the wildlife that left the footsteps in the snow, but even if you don't, some of the footprints have a remarkable level of detail.
