We have had a marvellous response to our appeal for more volunteers and have now more than doubled our numbers for each work session. This has enabled us to work in a more areas of the woodland than usual over the winter months and consequently the woods are looking well maintained as we move into the Spring months.

A well-earned break for our volunteers

Still plenty of brambles for foraging blackberries and for wildlife, but also a clear path for the many visitors to Carpenters Wood during the upcoming bluebell season.
