M.W.V.G May Woodland Task - new wood chip pathway is almost completed!
We've almost finished constructing the new wood chip pathway through the SSSI area (Site of Special Scientific Interest) which is great news as this will help to preserve this site. We did take some photos of the volunteer group's work and we think you'll agree that it was an amazing morning's work - keep an eye on the website for the photos which are coming soon.
Woodland Safari and Woodland Walk - was a great success - here a just a few of the pupils from West Chiltington Community School who joined Amanda Apps for a morning discovering the woodland. We're looking forward to our next safari in 2012!
Himalayan Balsam ....some good news here too - we're working closely with The Sussex Wildlife Trust and providing other local bodies with valuable pieces of information that outlines where the worst areas in the woodland are invaded in the hope of finally eradicating this invasive species - please see our Spring/Summer Newsletter for more information!
Woodland Survey soon underway! We'll also be joined by some of the Friends of Warnham Nature Reserve who are going to help us to start to catalogue some of the wild flower species that are living in Monkmead Wood - this has never been accomplished before so we can't wait to see what we find!
Our SPRING/SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2012 is now ready!.
