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 

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.

A number of boardwalks throughout the sites have been funded by Finchampstead Parish Council, National Trust Reading along with various private donations.

​

A significant occasion in Simon's Wood was the planting of 750 Hazel saplings as an example of how the woodland is managed. This planting will create an understory beneath the mature Pine and Birch trees.

The Centenary Trail Waymarkers in Simon's Wood were funded by local resident Mervyn Simmonds.

Volunteers bring a wealth of experience to the various tasks required and many have received  long service awards from the National Trust.
