March 2026
We were in Simon's Wood this month working with the Rangers to fell overhanging trees from main pathways. Volunteers also assisted with the coppicing of Sweet Chestnut trees and installing fencing to help keep deer away from eating any new shoots.

This month, we repaired and improved tracks on the Ridges using onsite aggregate and dug trenches to redirect rainfall. We also secured a sinkhole found on the lower bridle path. We very much appreciate visitors alerting us to such issues and helping to keep these lovely areas safe.
Simon's Wood Car Park - 2nd Update
​Further work has taken place on the driveway to Simon’s Wood car park following the resurfacing work of last week and attention now turned to the replacement of the damaged knee-rails at the entrance. It was decided to replace the damaged material with chestnut posts for yet another improvement to the car park entrance.
Simon's Wood Car Park - Update
Work has now been completed on the driveway resurfacing of the car park bringing it up to a very high standard and now is a smooth entrance to the main car park...as the attached photos show.
Our immense thanks go to Finchampstead Parish Council for funding this project.
