Our woodland launch event was held on Saturday 6th June, we had a glorious sunny day to enjoy our activities, celebrations and tea & cake!

Activities involved a campfire singing workshop, led by Emma Baylin from Shared Harmonies. We all took part in learning and singing a beautiful fire song and a rainforest song. Many joined in and it was a wonderful way to meet each other and enjoy being in the woodland.

We also had a guided walk, led by our Chairman, Eric Yaffey who has extensive woodland and conservation experience.

We met some new people and made some new Friends along the way.

Friends of Park Wood have helped to organise the repair of the dry stone wall between Park Wood (the woodland) and Long Lee Primary School. 

The work was carried out by The Conservation Volunteers on 25, 26 and 27 June.

Funding for this project - £1000 - has been received through District (Ward) Councillors from Community Clean Up funding available to us for environmental improvement. Friends of Park Wood are very grateful to District Councillors and the Area Committee for this support!

The Conservation Volunteers has been chosen to do the work because of the reliability of their service and their ethos using volunteers who they train-up 'on the job'.
