Meet our Chief Leaf Peeper

Ed Drewitt is a naturalist, wildlife detective and zoologist, and he knows a thing or two about leaves and our woodland. 

We needed someone to help us send our visitors to the very best spots of leaf peeping and to ensure we get our ‘leafy language’ correct when we are talking leaves. Ed is our guiding light on all of these areas.

“This area is a brilliant place to see the autumn colours because it is host to such a huge variety of different species of trees.

“Combined with the changing colours of bracken and flowering plants, the beech, oak and larch provide a dazzling array of colours which contrast with the dark greens of the fir, holly and yew trees.

“Many of the birds such as great tits, blue tits and gold crests which blended in with the greens of summer will be roaming around more obviously in mixed flocks.”  - Ed Drewitt
