The wood is also known for its rich insect population, with butterflies and dragonflies fluttering among the trees and wild bees buzzing around the wildflowers.

The forest offers several walking trails and paths, allowing visitors to explore its beauty and tranquility. It is a haven for outdoor activities, including hiking, wildlife photography, and even forest bathing. The management of Adams's Wood is carried out by a local conservation organization, ensuring the preservation of this natural gem for future generations to enjoy.

Lawson Cypress collection at bedgebury Pinetum The collection of conifers was started in the 1840's by the Beresford Hope family. It's now jointly managed by the Forestry Commission and Kew Gardens. Taxonomy of conifers is complex but Chamaecyparis lawsonia is the basic scientific name for this group, that will be followed by the individual cultivar or varietal name.
