English Bluebells - Hyacinthoides non-scripta Pillow

English Bluebells are a protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Landowners are prohibited from removing common bluebells on their land for sale and it is a criminal offence to remove the bulbs of wild common bluebells. They are protected because they face many threats and are an important species to preserve. Threats in the UK include the loss of ancient woodland habitat, the illegal collection of bulbs and cross-breeding (hybridisation) with non-native bluebells.
