We’re delighted to offer the trilogy of beautiful full-colour wildlife books produced by the Heartwood Monitoring Group.

The group is a team of volunteers at Heartwood Forest, which is owned and managed by the Woodland Trust. The group was recognised with a Special CPRE Hertfordshire Award in 2022 for these outstanding publications to help connect people with the countryside.

The second book in the series is Heartwood Butterflies, by Brian Legg, Andrew Steele, Jim Paterson and Steve Parkes. This is a wonderful guidebook to 30 species of butterfly found at Heartwood Forest and throughout Hertfordshire. For each species, there are lots of photographs and information about identification, lifecycle, frequency and distribution.

The book is a high-quality trade paperback, 46 pages, published in 2020.

Please also take a look at the other two books in the series, Heartwood Arboretum and Heartwood Wildflowers.  Each book is just £9.99, plus £4 packaging and postage per total merchandise order.

As with all our merchandise, all proceeds help fund our work to protect, promote and enhance the Hertfordshire countryside for everyone.
