A short walk amongst the trees or an opportunity to see the potential of Finings Wood as a village asset? Well, both of the above really.
Meet today at 10.00 at Lane End Surgery. Also, at the same time on Saturday and Monday.

It is difficult to understand the reason why one of the leaflet dispensers in Finings Wood was destroyed. Somebody must have done it yesterday afternoon or this morning. The group of eight people with me were so annoyed that this has happened. We found some of the plastic remains and collected all the leaflets from under a bush and put them back into stock. Not helpful at all.

All are welcome to the second of 6 walks and talks through Finings Wood at 10.00 tomorrow, Saturday 23rd. We are meeting by the surgery in Lane End and Dr Tim Harrison is joining us. There are long and short walks to suit all. Bring the kids and well behaved dogs on leads.

320 leaflets have been picked up from the dispensers in Finings Wood recently, which is very encouraging and reflects the growing support for the idea of Finings Wood being a community asset.

Yesterday`s walk through finings Wood with Dr Tim Harrison was both enlightening and enjoyable. Trees, flowers, butterflies, heat pumps and politics were all on the agenda. Only 4 attended, but this is the first of 6 walks that are coming up in the next few weeks. Saturday`s walk and talk starts at 10.00 at the surgery. Walk as long as you like but to get the full picture of Finings Wood as a great asset to Lane End allow 2 hours.

This morning I took the dog to Penn and Tylers Green. There I met up with Mike Morley who is the manager of the community woodland called Common Wood. Mike has 20 years’ experience with this wood and has offered his help and advice to us regarding the day to day managing of accessible woodland for walkers, runners, horse riders and cyclists, but making sure that the trees have the last say. Mike is joining us on the 18th November at the Lane End Conservation Group agm.
