Friends of Whittleford Park Bee orchids are threatened information
Bee orchids are threatened by mowing during flowering, or before the seed has been released. However, they often also disappear from sites that become overgrown with shrubs and/or trees, as the orchids fail to compete with these large plants for light.
Family: Orchidaceae
Genus: Ophrys
Kingdom: Plantae
Species: O. apifera
Are bee orchids protected by law?
Legal protection. Bee orchids are protected, as are all wild flowers, under Section 13 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981). This section prohibits unauthorised and intentional uprooting of any wild plant. In addition, because orchids are particularly slow growing and may only flower once in their lifetime
Are bee orchids in decline?
The bee orchid is declining. Orchids, of many different kinds, have declined not just in Norfolk but right across England. In the past, orchids have been picked for their attractive flowers.
How people can help
The Wildlife Trusts manage many grassland habitats sympathetically for the benefit of all kinds of wildlife. Careful grazing with traditional breeds, hay-cutting at the right time and scrub clearance are just some of the ways grasslands are kept in good condition. By volunteering for your local Trust you can help too, and you'll make new friends and learn new skills along the way.

Whittleford Park, Path warning 25th February 2022
Good afternoon, we have had a number of locals that visit the park daily inform us that some of the paths are currently uneven due to work that the local council have done over the last few days.
So please be careful when walking in the park, and please report any damage to use direct.
Thank you.
