Great news!
We have obtained funding to improve this scenic woodland which runs behind Bristol Business Park and the Scholars Chase development in Stoke Gifford.
In May, we held a work event along with Splatts Abbey Wood Conservation Group. Many thanks to the members of the Student Conservation Volunteer group from UWE and Bristol University as well as local residents who joined in. A consultant from Charlton Abbots Forestry provided us with a guided tour and outlined the planned improvements.
Ably led by a representative from the Forest of Avon Trust, the volunteers cut back bramble from the paths and cleared vegetation from the drainage ditch. Thanks to the members of the UWE Photography Society who were on hand to capture the day's action.
We are planning a community meeting in coming weeks to discuss the planned improvements including upgrading the paths, dealing with ash die-back and replacement planting.
If you live or work close to Sims Hill Woodland and are interested in joining us, we would love to have you!
