Friends
of Spring Wood is a voluntary conservation group that undertakes practical
conservation and maintenance work at the Spring Wood Picnic Site,
near Whalley.
Steph Davies tells us about the Friends of Spring
Wood Group...
"Spring
Wood is a small semi-natural ancient woodland and tasks
include tree planting, weeding out, clearing ditches,
painting picnic tables etc; We also have larger projects
on the go - we have developed an access trail for disabled
visitors, an outdoor classroom made of willow and a
bird hide. We are currently developing a wildflower
meadow.
The group meets on the first Saturday of the month between
10.00am and 4.00pm. A packed lunch and appropriate footwear
and clothing is required. It is a good idea to let us
know in advance if you wish to attend, then we can make
sure someone is available to meet you. Contact Paul
Shoreman, Ranger at the site, on 01254 825187 or Steph
Davies, the group's secretary on 01925 791492."
