Continuing work in the woods

The contractors working for the estate have advised us that they will be restarting the tree felling work around the end of the first week of July.  The shaded area on the following map shows where in the woods work is to be carried out.

Please take care when using the wood while the work is taking place and if you have any questions or concerns please get in touch.

Planting The Queen’s Oak

The Queen’s Oak was ceremonial planted on the common to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee by Jeff Harvey the longest serving member of the BC&WPS committee. Thanks to all who helped make this happen and to everyone who came along to support the event.

Volunteers from Red Kite

A huge thank you to the volunteers form Red Kite for their hard work. With their help the weeds and brambles have again been cleared from around the Coronation trees and our new Oak tree has been put in place ready for the official unveiling on June 5th.

Restoring the Information Board

At the end of April after 5 years in the ground the base of the Information Board on the corner of the common had rotten causing it to fall.

Thanks to our volunteers it has now been replaced using two concrete posts which will keep it in place for many years to come.

Footpath 112

Public footpath 112/1, which runs through the woods connecting horns lane to Lane End Road had become completely overgrown and impassable.

Thanks to our volunteers it has now been reopened and we hope it will be well used.
