It’s an exciting week, but the SWOG newsletter is bucking national trends by ignoring the forthcoming election and recent royal birth. Instead, we have far more useful news for woodland folk.

• We discuss recent news to re-introduce the wild lynx to Britain
• John Clark passes on vital tips about firelighting
• Fran Southgate of the Sussex Wildlife Trust writes about the importance of wetland areas in woodland.
• Finally, Tim Gibbs writes (triumphantly) about the success of his woodland loo.
