Castle Wood

We purchased Castle Wood (between lomond school gym and ardencaple quadrant) with overwhelming public support. We have addressed tree safety and flooding issues affecting local residents. We hold regular volunteering days for people to maintain and improve the wood, such as cutting and removal of invasive laurel and rhododendron. We need funds to pay for chipping and disposal of the cuttings, and we would like to rent motorised barrows and associated equipment to help remove the cut laurel over the soft ground. We also need funds to help us pay for the 3-yearly tree safety inspection and remedial action work (due in august this year).

Who Benefits

Anyone who lives by the woodland, who walks or plays in the wood. All ages. Forrest classes are held through the year by woodlandwise. Mindfullness sessions are held there. Volunteering in the wood is a great exercise for body and mind. The wildlife and nature benefit everyone in the local community.
