Friends of Ashenground and Bolnore Woods
Friends of Ashenground and Bolnore Woods is made up of local people including walkers, nature lovers, dog owners and family groups interested in caring for the woods.
​
The group organises a regular program of volunteer mornings, every third Saturday of the month, nature walks and special interest events.
​
We also monitor the influences of development in the surrounding area, and encourage responsible use and public access to the ancient woodland.
Flora and fauna surveys are carried out to monitor any changes in species over time.
​
The ancient woodland is enriched by limiting the encroachment of invasive species and encouraging native flora as well as pollinator habitats. Access paths are kept clear and well defined.
​
As a vital part of our aims, events to learn and connect with local nature within the woods are shared for free.
There are also links with local schools as well as other nature organisations
Volunteer sessions involve work in the woodland, including coppicing, pruning, scything and mowing as well as general tasks such as litter picking.
​
Regular newsletters are produced and contributions from members are always welcome, why not join as a volunteer, a member or both!
