	Woodland Burial

The much-loved bluebell, with its colourful displays across woodland floors in the springtime, is an often-used emblem of woodland ecology. Although it is a plant which tolerates partial shade, it nonetheless requires the light afforded by deciduous trees in the spring to burst forth into flower.

It is one of the wildflowers regarded as an indicator of ancient woodland habitat; when found out in the open may indicate where woodland formerly was.
