We hope that local naturalists will use this site to share information - what rare species have you seen?

Brindley Estate
1 X small Ornamental Cherry (Prunus Amanogawa) - a pink blossom tree
1 X Ornamental Silver Birch (Betula Pendula Fastigata) - a very beautiful and striking upright and narrow tree
1 X Golden Alder (Alnus Incana Aurea) - a beautiful orange barked tree with red catkins.

Mundela School
1 X An Elm (Ulmus carpinifolia Wredei Aurea) - a tree with striking lime green leaves
1 X Tamarix aestivalis - a beautiful meditteranean tree
