Hi,
Just thought some folk here might like a few photos from where I live. There are areas of 'Atlantic oak rainforest'. These ancient woodlands get regular rainfall and have a very diverse population of mosses and Lichens.
I'm no expert on these things (so don't ask!) but there's some plants that grow in the burns which flow through these woodlands that look very similar to some we use. These woods are pretty 'pristine' Generally no grazing livestock beyond the odd red deer, and very seldom visited/meddled with by humans.
The trees have lots of epiphytes
Typical woodland burn
Mosses, these form dense carpets on the forest floor, sometimes you come across huge mounds of sphagnum moss
Thanks
