Three Chilterns woodlands for Coralroot Cardamine bulbifera

Buckinghamshire 10th May 2025
general
led by
Astrid Biddle

A few years ago, just before the effects of Ash Dieback took hold, Astrid visited all the Cardamine bulbifera (Coralroot) populations in the Chilterns that she could find (30), repeating the observations of A. Showler and T. Rich (published 1993). She was also fortunate enough to locate the three populations studied by Showler (1988), and it is in these woodlands that the day will be spent. The targets are Millfield Wood, Booker Common and Park Wood, found west of High Wycombe. These woodlands have seen tremendous change, from the loss of Elm to the loss of Ash. Please join her on a fascinating journey, taking a look at the ecology of this enigmatic plant and other woodland species in these Chilterns’ woodlands. There is quite a story to tell here!
