Trace Ploughman Wood’s history back to at least the 12th century, using maps, written accounts and physical evidence on the ground. Michael Walker also shows how to apply the same research methods to other local woodlands.

Join Michael Walker for an online talk exploring the story of Ploughman Wood, an ancient woodland owned and managed by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. The session looks at how woodlands can reveal their past when you examine maps, written accounts and physical evidence on the ground.

Michael shares the research methods he has used to uncover the history of the wood, which dates back to at least the 12th century. He also explains how these approaches can be applied to other local woodlands, making the talk appealing to anyone interested in woodland history, local heritage and the natural environment.

The event takes place online via Zoom, with access details sent after ticket purchase through Eventbrite. It is led by Michael Walker, a long-standing Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust staff member and woodland enthusiast with a background in wildlife recording and bat conservation.
