You may well have received a number of emails from the Beaulieu Residents Website titled Beaulieu News. Unfortunately the website has not been working properly and the emails haven’t been getting sent out after we have posted an update on the website. We have been looking to get this resolved however were not expecting all the back log of emails to go out to everyone once the problem was fixed.
We apologies for any confusion caused by receiving a number of out of date posts from the past year.
Going forward, you should now receive emails at the relevant time and if you have any questions about the website or any of the updates, please email us at Beaulieu@thelandtrust.org.uk

Just a reminder that a visit to Father Christmas is for Beaulieu Residents only and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Ever wondered what Butterfly`s share your garden? Well now is the time to try and find out. The Big Butterfly Count is run by Butterfly Conservation and is a citizen science project that was launched in 2010. It aims at encouraging all of us to take a moment to appreciate nature and count what butterflies you can find, letting them know so they can map out populations across the UK. In 2020 over 111,500 people took part, submitting 145,249 counts of butterflies and day-flying moths from across the UK. This year the event runs from 16th July- 8th August.
In order to take part, you just need to take 15 minutes on a sunny day either in your garden or during a walk. Not sure what you’re looking at? Not to worry, Butterfly Conservation have provided some handy ID sheets which you can either download from their website or you can pick one up from Beaulieu Community Centre. If you taking part in your garden, you just need to record the most of one particular species you see at one time. If you’re out for a walk, it’s the total number of butterflies you see in 15 minutes.
As well as submitting your results online as part of the survey, we would also love to know how many species of butterfly you find and even better if you can provide us with any pictures. If you can’t ID a particular butterfly then grab a photo in and we will do our best to help.
We hope you enjoy getting involved and we will encourage everyone to get involved each year, that way we can start to see what the butterfly population is like over the years on the estate.

Earlier this year we had a tree health condition report carried out by an independent arboriculturalist which flagged up a number of works required across the site. There was nothing major however there was a guide as to when these works need to be completed by. Ideally we would like to have carried these works out, outside of nesting season but this has not been possible.
We carried out a tender for the works and awarded it to Ruskins Trees. They have been onsite for the last couple of weeks removing dead wood from some trees whilst felling any that have been identified within the tree report. Some trees were also marked to be coppiced which may appear as if the tree has been felled however the tree remains and this encourages healthy growth. As dead wood is key for a healthy ecosystem, where possible they will aim to leave the dead wood nearby. Also before work is carried out on each tree, they will have conducted a survey to look for any nests that could be disturbed.
They will be back to carry out some works on the large mature trees on Heath Park.
A health condition report will be carried out roughly every three years to keep residents and visitors to Beaulieu safe.
If you do have any questions about the tree works, please contact us at Beaulieu@thelandtrust.org.uk
