"The quantity of elms at 1km level SJ7402 is the largest concentration of hedgerow elms I have seen so far, even though most appear to be regularly cut, the plants that make up the hedge are very old. I have not checked if there is any previous records for this 10km location but I am very confident that WLH will be found at 1km level here. I was taken by surprise by the quantity of elms." - Gavin Woodman
