New hedgerow in Simon's Wood planting 1,000 'whips' of mixed hedging including Hawthorn, Buckthorn, Dogwood Rose, Hornbeam and Hazel alongside the Heritage Club wall.

Financial Support

Finchampstead Parish Council has supported many of our projects.

The opening of the Ridges Ramble walk to Spout Pond and the western pathways was a particular success.

Friends from the Optalis Day Centre help us with the work every month.  We in turn give our support to the Growing Places-Berkshire charity in Wokingham and at their farm at Stratfield Turgis.

Fundraising Campaign

Our JustGiving campaign raised the funds for the revamp of the Car Park at Simon's Wood.

A huge thank you to the local community for supporting the funding.

Planting Initiatives

A significant occasion in Simons Wood was the planting of 750 Hazel saplings as another example of how the woodland is managed. This planting will create an understory beneath the mature Pines and Birch...in the fulness of time...
