A 400 ha (1000 acre) medieval hunting forest, in West Essex, with wood pasture and hundreds of veteran trees, coppice, a lake and smal wetland areas. Owned and managed by the National Trust. Very important for its old trees and the saproxylic invertebrate community.

How can I update the species totals? E.g. now the beetle total is 827 species (up from 786)
Updating species totals
If you set up the site, there should be a couple of tabs, view and edit and you can use the latter to update the totals. It's not clear who set this site up though as it says Anonymous.
