winter teasels Dipsacus fullonum 800 Wood Madingley Cambridge
The brown, oval, spiky seed heads of the teasel are a familiar sight in all kinds of habitats, from grassland to waste ground. They are visited by goldfinches and other birds. The 800 Wood was planted on former arable land owned by the University farm near Madingley village to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the University of Cambridge. The 10ha new native woodland was planted to join up with Madingley Wood, an ancient woodland designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. With over 15,000 trees planted, it is the largest planting project ever undertaken by the University.
