Welcome back!
We are welcoming back native rare breed Gloucester cattle to graze our downland from early September until the end of February.
Busy bees
This summer we’ve had some busy woodland creatures buzzing around the arboretum with us – bees!...
Return of the grazers
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.
Flying Lessons at Westonbirt
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!)!...
A walk into the unknown
We've always known that we have bats at Westonbirt - but we've never really gone out looking for them.
Footsteps in the snow
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.
