The lemon slug (Malacolimax tenellus) is a recognised indicator species for ancient woodlands. Mal was commissioned by and will join Wild Card in their campaign to bring back the ghost woods.

All across England, lost beneath neat, uniform timber plantations, lie the remains of some of our oldest living ecosystems. These are the “Ghost Woods” – once thriving ancient woodlands felled in the 20th century and now smothered by monoculture plantations. These forests should be alive with birdsong, fungi and wildflowers, (and lemon slugs) but instead they’ve been turned into dark and gloomy tree farms.
Wild Card wants to change this.
