Grandad, Cyril Lewis worked in many of our forests but I best remember his work in the Forest of Dean where he was Head Forester. I learnt a lot from him, he knew his trees, as you can imagine but he also showed me things such as; grab a bluebell and hold it in a wood ant nest for merely seconds, it turns pink. The reason for this is the ants spray acid in defence which causes a litmus paper style effect of alkaline to acid. It may vary depending on the Ph levels of soil and what not.
