A number of our Trustees had an excellent site meeting with Windlesham Field of Remembrance on Wednesday, 14th October, with the aim of helping The Trustees of W F o R to maintain this excellent woodland area for the enjoyment of the local community.
We were delighted to find that a professionally run outside children’s “Woodland School” has been set in the wood and is used four times a week to educate kids about the wonders of the great outdoors. An aim we totally endorse!
To that end SHTW’s are to provide and put up a number of nest boxes (already in stock) and possibly going forward bat boxes. We will also tidy and clear any brambles around the adventure area.
In addition to the support of the education area, we will carry out cutting out and clearing the inevitable invasive species, Laurel, excess Holly and Rhododendrons where appropriate, to allow the native Woodland Trees to thrive, as they always have done. The site is well worth a visit as the new café is open and doing brilliant drinks and snacks!
