Join BBOWT's Reserves Officer Chris Trew and Volunteer Reserve Warden Phillip Pratt, for a beautiful and informative look at the many species of wild orchids at Marlow's SSSI Homefield Wood. This stunning site is home to the rare Military Orchid, one of only three sites in the UK, where this once thought to be extinct orchid can be seen.
