An expert knows!

By Paul Thomas

On his current tour the renowned bushcraft expert Ray Mear`s main message is believing that children, and indeed adults, should get out into the forests and woodlands to listen, learn and enjoy the space they offer.
​
Although Ray isn`t coming to Lane End anytime soon, the Parish Council are to discuss Finings Wood next Wednesday 12th October at the Community centre in a closed session after the open public meeting at 7.30pm. We have put a strong and passionate case forward for maximum funding and can now only hope that the council can achieve an outcome that will put Finings Wood on everyone’s list and follow Ray Mear`s vital messages. A rare Ancient Woodland such as Finings Wood right next to Lane End must not be taken for granted.
