Holt Country Park

Are you a fan of Damselflies and Dragonflies? Then we'd strongly advise you to get yourself down to the pond at Holt CP where you can see lots and lots of these wonderful creatures. Apparently there's no official collective noun for Damselflies but some people refer to them as a sparkle which we quite like. For Dragonflies the most commonly used term is a swarm and that is definitely what it felt like down there today 🥰.

We received some lovely feedback this week which we thought we would share 🤗

"I just want to let you know how much I have enjoyed wandering through the woods of Holt Country Park. I am on holiday here from Corby in Northamptonshire and have been into the wood almost every day - it’s a beautiful place. I am so impressed with how clean and tidy it is and so free from dog waste as well. It’s a real credit to all who are involved in caring for it.

I know much effort goes into this because I have volunteered for the past 10 years in two areas of ancient woodland in Corby, where littering and dog fouling can be a I big problem. This apart from all the work that needs doing to maintain and keep it a safe place to visit.

I’ll try and add a few pictures of bugs I took on the access track off Hempstead Road. I’m looking forward to visiting again later in the year."

The whole team were very grateful for the positive feedback 😁

Not only did our fortnightly Sadlers Wood Muddy Boots group get to support the rangers with some site management works yesterday - including Alexander removal, a butterfly transect and installation of interpretation - but they also took the time to enjoy the carpet of bluebells within the woods and across the wider site, and let's be honest we can't blame them can we 🥰😍

When visiting our sites you may sometimes come across our Rangers cutting down trees, more so in the winter months out of bird nesting season but also at other times of the year if absolutely required. Here's a nice little article from Forestry England about why it can actually be good to cut down trees, a process which is often misunderstood.

Whether it’s for harvesting timber, protecting trees and people, or creating new habitats, discover why it’s sometimes good to cut down trees.

It's been another incredibly busy year for our Rangers working across our fifteen sites. We'll now be taking a well earned few days off to spend with our families before returning early in the New Year rested and ready for what promises to be an equally busy 2026.

Merry Christmas from all the team!
