Large elms are particularly interesting to
natural historians because they support many other species of interest –
fungi, lichens, bryophytes and butterflies to name but a few. For their
Welcome to Walking Week in 2003 the Ramblers Association wanted to put their
walks to a good purpose and asked walks leaders and their parties to look
out for elms. More than 110 large elms were recorded and the details will be
entered onto the Ancient Tree Hunt database. Soon it will be possible to
locate these elms on our interactive map on
