Two more bollards, a marker post replaced and a path opened up by the volunteer students. Meanwhile Sally has planted lots of daffodils opposite the hall which should flower in the spring.

Thanks to a couple of students from BNU who help with our bulb planting and then the replacement of a rotten wooden bollard.

A bit of hard work to cut back and clear the allotment ready for cultivation and hopefully a good crop next year

Logs are very good for preventing vehicles from accessing the woods but gaps are needed for people and horses to get to the footpaths and bridlepaths. The entrance to the path at the top of Lane End road just needed a little widening.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to our autumn litter pick, it was a great turn out and has made a real difference.

Access to the bridle path from Lane End road was completely overgrown. Hedley and Tony soon sorted cut it back and opened it up.

There was a lot more to clear this year so a huge thanks to all who helped with our annual cut back of the Triangle on what was probably the hottest day of the year.

And a special thanks to Lilly, our youngest volunteer who not only helped with clearing but was our official photographer.

Our volunteers made short work of installing the repaired woodland bench. The new legs should see it last for many more years.

Poor visibility at the corner near the top of horns lane and drivers travelling too fast increases the risk to pedestrians trying to cross the road. We cant slow the cars but thanks to Wayne and Steve we have improved the visibility.

Thanks to perseverance and hard work by Sally, Hedley, Ian and others, along with help from the volunteers from Red Kite the wild flower patch created on the common is blooming.

Thanks to Sally and Steve the last of the green benches has been fully repainted and is looking like new..

A huge thank you to all the students from Bucks New University who helped us on the common.

One group tackled the trees along Willow Avenue, removing all the low branches to give clearance beneath the trees.

The others worked in the opposite corner clearing away brambles and bushes to uncover the old apple tree once part of an orchard. Our aim is to keep it clear and uncover more of the trees so that the apples can once again flourish.

Thanks to everyone who turned out for our Autumn litter collection today and also thank you to everyone who regularly picks up litter from on and around the common. It really makes positive a difference.

Thanks to a couple of hard-working volunteers, we able to cut most of the triangle.

Helping to protect the common

Sad to see so many more trees being cut down but once the work is complete the woods will, with time and a little help recover and be restored.
