Welcome to the Sims' Hill Community Woodland Blog!

We held the first working party on Friday 25th March and it was a great success. We managed to collect 26 bags of rubbish, a lot of which was recycled or reused. There is still a lot of work to be done before the woodland is clear of litter altogether but it was certainly an encouraging start!

The next working party will be held on Wednesday 18th May from 12.00-14.00 and the focus this time is wildlife. A Senior Ecologist from the Forestry Commission will be conducting a woodland walk to assess what sort of wildlife lives in the woodland currently and how we can encourage more.

And there will be more litter picking...

Watch this space for details of how it went on the 18th May, photos of the woodland and news of future plans and progress.
