Millennium Wood update

By the time you read this the volunteer group will have completed their winter tasks of cutting down some of the smaller or overcrowded trees and creating some more dead hedging for wildlife. Just in case you are wondering: the contractors will, next winter, take out the tree stumps that we have left, as it is much easier for us to saw down the saplings at waist height rather than close to the ground.

I would like to say a big Thank You to all of the volunteers for their time, effort and enthusiasm. We are only a small team, but it is surprising what a few people can achieve in a couple of hours, including time for a chat and coffee break - you have to get your priorities right! More volunteers are always welcome though.

The wood is already full of bird song and activity: I have seen several blue tits staking their claim on the bird boxes so spring is just round the corner. Many thanks to those of you who donated snowdrops from their gardens last winter and I hope that you have had the opportunity to take a walk through the wood to see them flower. If any of you would like to donate some more this year or plant them in memory of a loved one, just send me a quick email.

During the last volunteer session as we were processing the cut branches into dead hedging, I wondered if we could be more creative. If you have an interest in land art and have some ideas, please get in touch.

Enjoy the birdsong and sunshine!
