Community Woodlands Project

IN PARTNERSHIP with the National Forest Company and Leicestershire’s Rural Community Council the National Lottery Heritage Fund has provided funding to create or enhance ten community woodland sites and associated community groups to manage and care for them within the National Forest over the next two years.

Our aim is to engage local communities to help jointly design new woodland areas whilst meeting the needs of local people which could include providing space for people to meet, community events, outdoor classrooms, volunteering, and wellbeing activities.

The project is overjoyed to report that a site at Hill Hole Nature Reserve has been chosen to participate in the project: aim is to engage local communities to help jointly design new woodland areas whilst meeting needs of local people which could include providing space for people to meet, community events, outdoor classrooms, volunteering, and wellbeing activities. project is overjoyed to report site at Hill Hole Nature Reserve has chosen to participate in the project: are looking for like-minded people to get involved with future initiatives and events either site to help the design process and then manage and maintain them in the future. would welcome anyone interested or knowing more about the project to please contact us via on either: ktaylor@ruralcc.org.uk or eandrew@ruralcc.org.uk or look out for future event advertisement via Facebook (RCC and Spotted Sites)
