🐝 A Buzzing New Arrival at Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial Ground! 🌿

We are delighted to welcome Happy Bottom Bees to their new home here at Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial Ground.

Our new bee hives have been carefully placed within the beautiful natural surroundings of the site, where the bees can thrive among our wildflowers, meadows and woodland habitats.

As well as supporting local biodiversity and pollination, we are hoping our busy new residents will produce plenty of delicious honey in the future.

🍯 Watch this space... we hope to have our own locally produced honey available to purchase on site in the years ahead!

These tiny pollinators play a vital role in sustaining healthy ecosystems, and we are proud to be creating even more opportunities for wildlife to flourish across our grounds.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our newest residents! 🐝💛

Rare Wildlife Discovery

🦟 Exciting wildlife news from the burial ground! 🦟

This summer, Dorset Wildlife Trust recorded not one, but two species of ichneumon wasp that have never before been identified in Dorset.

Both species were discovered in the main pond area and are so rare that they are known only by their scientific names:

🔍 Pseudoplatylabus violentus
🔍 Apsilops aquaticus

These fascinating finds highlight the importance of carefully managed habitats and the incredible biodiversity that our site supports.

Every new discovery helps us better understand and protect the wildlife that calls the burial ground home.

Meadow Management & Conservation Grazing

🌾 A huge achievement for the team this summer! 🌾

We’ve recently completed our annual cut and collect operation across the meadows, and for the first time this work was undertaken entirely in-house.

It’s a real credit to the team, who spent long days on the machines cutting and removing the grass to help maintain these important habitats. Their hard work will support a diverse range of wildflowers and wildlife for years to come.

We’ve also cleared large areas of scrub encroachment around the meadow edges, bringing these areas back into our wider meadow management programme.

🐑 And the next chapter is just around the corner... we’re looking forward to welcoming the sheep back in October to continue our conservation grazing programme.

🌈 Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day | 28th August 🌈

Today, on Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, we take a moment to remember the pets who have brought love, companionship, and joy to our lives.

At Poole and Wimborne Woodland Burial Ground, we understand that pets are often much more than animals - they are loyal companions, treasured friends and valued members of the family.
The bond we share with them can be as deep and meaningful as that shared with any other loved one.

As we reflect on the importance of remembering all those who have touched our lives, we also recognise the special place that beloved pets hold in our hearts.

🐾 They may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

💜 Always loved. Never forgotten.

We would love to hear about the pets who made a lasting impact on your life.

Please share a favourite photograph, memory, or tribute in the comments below and join us in celebrating the unconditional love they gave.

Biodiversity at the Burial Ground

Species Spotlight: Figwort Sawfly 🐝

Every species has a role to play, and some have very specific habitat requirements. Our next Biodiversity at the Burial Ground spotlight focuses on a remarkable insect that depends on a single plant for survival.

The Figwort Sawfly (Tenthredo scrophulariae) feeds exclusively on figwort and is typically found in the damper areas of the site where its host plant grows. Its yellow and black colouring resembles a wasp, helping to deter predators.

This species was featured in Hamish Murray's article "Biodiversity at the Burial Ground", published in Dorset Wildlife Trust's Summer 2026 magazine.
