Four years ago today a #Wildfire took hold at Wareham Forest. Started by disposable BBQs, it burnt for 3 weeks & destroyed 220 hectares of precious forest. It's a lasting reminder of why we ask everyone to please #BringAPicnicNotABBQ & prevent this happening again Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service

Fungi are essential to the Forest's ecosystem and web of life. They are important recyclers, provide food for animals, and communicate with the plants & trees around them. Look out for them across #DorsetForests at this time of year and remember some are poisonousπŸ„πŸ‚πŸ’š
