Springtime hazel

Here's a series of pictures from west coast hazel. The catkins make hazel the stand out tree at this time of the year. The catkins elongate and change colour as they get more mature.


When the sun strikes a hazel full of catkins the result can be a mass of flaming gold or silver, there for a day or two and then gone till next year.



We've just heard that one of our partnership groups, the Atlantic Hazel Action Group, has secured additional funding from EU Leader.
