Vaccinating badgers

Pinewood, nr Littlebourne, Kent

A patch of ancient woodland east of Canterbury noted for its insects. The woodland still stands today, but has no conservation designations and is privately managed. It is likely that it was used as chestnut coppice from the 16th century, but now it provides fodder for the nearby zoo! Dormice are known to inhabit this wood.
