Tree Sponsorship
Following on from the success of our Platinum Jubilee Copse, we have moved on to our new tree planting programme, starting with 5 elms and 10 flowering cherries. These were planted by their sponsors on 22nd February.
There are 3 elms left for sponsorship with more planned. Please email for more information.
The New Tree Trail Guide
The popular Oaks Tree Trail leaflet has been revised and reprinted, with some changes made to the original trail. The walk lasts about an hour.
The Friends will be running guided tree trails on the first Sunday in June, July, September and October, starting at 2 pm. There is no charge.
Guided walks can also be arranged for groups on request.
Leaflets may be found on the Friends' stand in the café.
The new leaflet has been produced with the generous support of the Downlands Trust.
Bakehouse Funding Secured!
The Friends' bid for funding of £25,000 from the LBS Neighbourhood Fund, towards the restoration of the Bakehouse, has been successful!
More information soon.
