Hob Hey Wood Friends Group was established to look after Hob Hey Wood, ensuring it remains a beautiful place for both people and the wildlife that live there.

Anyone can join the group; all are welcome!

We've developed a five year management plan which forms the basis for identifying the key challenges and targets for the next five years.

Our key objectives are to:

Establish a friends group and an associated Facebook page
Target new members for volunteering, fundraising and involvement plan
Organise volunteer days to start the basis for woodland path works and essential flood prevention works
Define the fundraising requirements and set up a fundraising plan
Define a timeline / rota for essential maintenance activities, tying these into the volunteering data
Carry out a cyclical non-native tree removal plan
Carry out a ful audit of the wood's trees, fauna, features and external boundaries
Perform regular inspections in conjunction with rECOrd
Estabish a programme for future cyclical planting in the wood

Much has already been achieved, of course. Many volunteer days have been held focussing on path improvements, orchard expansion and dead hedge building. Regular visitors have seen and commented on the effects of this.

A full maintenance plan has been created and there is still much more to do but this costs time and resources. We really need people to help.

We'd really appreciate if yould like us or even better pledge some time or money to this specific pathway renovation project.
