More about our impact
The environment
We have restored a healthy woodland habitat and are conserving the heritage of this site for future generations to enjoy its rare eco systems.
The local economy
Not applicable
Volunteering, jobs & education
The existing team and professional contractors were ably assisted by many local volunteers in the re-planting and wider fundraising activities. As a result the Alderbed friends have acquired several new members.
Arts, culture & heritage
A fundraising concert of choral and instrumental music was held in the local church given by a group of local musicians, run by a professional musician from the village, which was a well supported cultural event as well as raising funds for the project.
Activity, health and leisure
The Alderbed wood is a popular destination for walkers so a great local asset to promote physical fitness but also a quiet peaceful place with space and benches for reflection promoting mental wellbeing. Also for birdwatching and appreciation of nature. It's restoration and re-opening to the public was therefore important for health and leisure.
