About this word search
The Pine marten is one of Britain's rarer mammals, mostly found in Scotland, though it has been reintroduced to parts of Wales and England. It shares this list with the Dormouse, the Wild boar and the Roe deer, plus trees such as the Yew and the Silver birch.
Lichen grows slowly on bark and stone, and some types only do well where the air is clean. Bracken and Bluebell carpet many British woods in spring and summer.
Eighteen squares a side, all eight directions. Undergrowth and Silver birch are good places to start. Yew, Jay and Sap are short and much harder to find.
