Strong winds in January blew down part of a coppiced ash in the hedge, blocking the ride towards the back of the wood. We hope to clear it out of the way soon. We shall pile up the twiggy bits in amongst the trees to make protective habitats for small animals.
Since writing this; Alan Smyth, with help from a small group of woodlanders has cut up and removed the main part of the tree, which has just left the twiggy bits piled into heaps nearby.
The stormy winds also tore off some of the rigid tree guards. I don't like to see plastic lying about-- not good for the environment, so I have been collecting them up and put in my black, non recyclable bin.

Look out for
signs of spring as you wander round and thank you to all the people who clean up after their dogs--- the dog waste bins fill up really quickly!!!!
