Volunteers have been working tirelessly to replace a number of non-native plants with English species in Gedling House Woods.
Friends of Gedling House Woods volunteers have put planted 1000 native English bluebells and 180 UK grown hazel in the last week to develop woodland margins.
Group volunteer Rick Wilson said: “The bluebells replaced a few clumps of non-native Spanish and hybrid bluebells which we removed in the spring.
“We planted the hazels along the verge on Wood Lane itself as we gradually move to reduce the height of trees along the verge and remove the ubiquitous sycamore and Norway maple that have self-seeded there.
“Thanks to our volunteer workforce for their contribution.”
