Join our completely free Nature Journal Club, where we observe nature in our local green spaces and connect over what we find (typically in or near Blackwood, Wales).
Silent Valley is part of the Gwent Wildlife Trust. The area is home to ancient woodland and July is one of the best times to spot Fragrant Orchid, Mash Helleborine, and Broad-leaves Helleborine. https://www.gwentwildlife.org/blog/andy-karran/flowering-beauties
