St Peter’s Pightle
On 1st December 2025 Blyth Woods signed a 25 year lease allowing us to develop and care for St Peter’s Pightle. The land will become a wildlife area close to Wenhaston village centre where indigenous trees and wildflowers will be cultivated along with a dispersed orchard. In time the area will support a host of insects and small creatures, feeding and nesting birds as well as becoming a habitat for larger mammals.
The morning was wet and windy but the black poplar that we planted close to the pond to mark the occasion was happy enough, black poplars like wet ground. Black poplars are quite rare in Suffolk, so we chose this tree to help restore the presence of this native species.

Back in the shelter of the church, with some festive nibbles, we raised a glass of warm mulled wine to celebrate the signing of the lease.
