Protect the bluebells: visitors asked to stick to paths in Chalet Wood

A carpet of native English bluebells will once again return to Chalet Wood in Wanstead Park this month.

“We remind visitors to please keep to the designated pathways through Chalet Wood and take care not to step on these precious flowers… As with any wildflowers in Epping Forest, please do not pick the bluebells,” said a spokesperson for the City of London Corporation.

The park’s bluebells have gradually spread over the years, thanks to Wren Wildlife Group volunteers, who maintain the pathways that protect the delicate plants.
