Tree down beware!24/1/2024 A big old beech tree is down across the bridleway towards Laceys. If you are walking you can scramble through a path we have cut but a horse would struggle. Back soon with a bigger saw............. All clear now! Paul Thomas - Facebook

The head is found....14/1/2024 From a supporter....
You will be happy to hear that whilst walking my dog this afternoon (Saturday ) I discovered Sylvana’s head in the bushes by the foot path. I have been down to her and reunited her with her head. I don’t think it will fall of again as I’ve wired it on. But if you feel it necessary please check it. As I only used what I had in my car at the time. She’s looking her old beautiful self again tonight.

Poor Sylvana13/1/2024 Very sad to report that Sylvana has lost her head. It looks like it was carefully removed from her body, It must've happened Friday afternoon 12th or this morning. Did someone want it as a trophy or has it been thrown in a bush nearby? Sylvana was becoming a well known character next to the climbing tree. It's not just the children that will be very upset. Did anyone see anything suspicious? Why?

Great start to the year!6/1/2024 Good news this morning! We have been successful in being awarded the £15,000 we applied for from the Southwest Chilterns Community Board. Their Manager, Makyla Devlin says " I am so pleased that the Community Board can be part of such an amazing project."
So a big thank you to them, and a thank you to the Lane End Parish Council who have offered (because of the Community Board rules) to receive the money on our behalf. We will ask them for the transfer as soon as we are ready to purchase the woodland. This is a great way to start 2024 and we are working on the other bids right now

Tea Towels5/1/2024 £42 was raised from the sale of the Finings Wood Tea Towel last year. I popped it in the Aviva fund so it was doubled to £84. This was a bit of an experiment and I’d be keen to hear of other ideas for things that could bear artwork featuring our beautiful wood!
