Happy Christmas from Teazle Wood

Christmas, teazle wood, woodland

What a great year for Teazle Wood – so much has been achieved, and so many people came together to achieve it.Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped with the project so far – your contribution is so valuable. The goodwill and expertise we have aboard is amazing and, as always, greatly appreciated.

When I think back to all that has happened, one of the images that keeps popping up in my mind is the string of volunteers in September linking hands to collectively pull debris from one of the big ponds. The amount cleared in a few days, by hand, was remarkable. It reminded me of the ‘Giant Turnip’ story – everyone pulling together to achieve an outcome.

(For anyone who doesn’t know the story, “a grandfather plants a turnip, which grows so large that he cannot pull it up himself. He asks the grandmother for help, and they together still cannot pull it up. Successively more people are recruited to help, until they finally pull the turnip up together.

The specific ordering and set of people and sometimes animals varies. However in original Russian version the order is quite fixed, it is the grandfather (dedka), the grandmother (babka), the granddaughter (vnuchka), the female-dog (zhuchka), the female-cat (koshka) and finally the female-mouse (myshka). The moral of the story is that only with the help of the weakest and smallest creature (the mouse) can the giant turnip or radish (repka) be pulled up.” Thank you, Wikipedia!).

Have a wonderful Christmas, and a peaceful 2014. We will be doing more guided walks in Teazle Wood in late April, when the bluebells and wild garlic should be at their beautiful best (and the mosquitoes won’t yet be out in force!). Do e-mail me if you would like to be notified of dates and times.

fungi, woodland

Found a large group of  in Teazle Wood today – perfect, white and clean, these look like they should be delicious but are poisonous 😦 Here’s one (not our photo). Scraping the base of the stem reveals a strong yellow colour – the common name is ‘yellow stainer’. We are looking forward to seeing the second list of Teazle Wood fungi, which this time is being created by Dr. Brian Spooner, Head of Mycology at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who was in the wood today with members of the Surrey Fungus Study Group. How lucky we are to have the voluntary expertise of people like Brian and David and their colleagues. Thank you to all of them.white fungi lying on grass

The wonderful staff of Unilever rolled up their sleeves and cleared the rubbish-filled ditch in Teazle Wood, along the boundary with Tesco. Thank you to them for a great day and a task completed really well – it looks fantastic and it’s great to see the water in the stream moving.

Terrific day in Teazle Wood, with two workshops run to raise funds to finish paying for the purchase of the woodland. Plant folklore expert Roy Vickery showed us the many weird and wonderful uses of our native plants, and professional photographer David Spink taught his students how to get off AUTO. A big thank you to both men for their time and expertise. All these photos were taken by Auriel Glanville, ‘Friend of Teazle Wood’ – thanks, Auriel!

music, woodland

I picked up a leaflet at the Leatherhead Institute today about a Surrey
Hills Society (SHS) meeting “Out of Our Woods – the Music of Trees” by
Mervyn Mewis.

A visual presentation combined with traditional music from Mervyn Mewis
and his partner Kathryn on hand-made instruments. It combines the
historic use of local woodlands with a modern approach to musical
creation.

Mervyn studied habitat management and is involved in voluntary
conservation work. He also has a keen interest in woodwork.

Doors will open at 7pm and the talk will begin at 7.30pm in the Abraham
Dixon Hall of the Letherhead Institute (top of the High Street KT22
8AH) on Friday 8th March.

The cost will be £5 for Surrey Hills Members and £7 for non-members.

Further information in leaflets which include booking forms at
Leatherhead Institute.

The Surrey Hills Society contacts are:-

– phone 01372 376650

– email info@surreyhillssociety.org
