Vaccinating badgers

Hempstead Wood, Sussex

A small ancient wood near Hailsham in Sussex, listed by the SPNR for 'plants and insects'. Only a fragment of ancient woodland now survives, due to the wood being partly destroyed to make way for the route of a by-pass and other parts being sold for housing development.
