Just wanted to say Hi to everybody. We own 11 acres of ancient semi-natural oak woodland just outside Tamworth in Staffordshire (the woods are in Warwickshire, which can sometimes be a problem). We are managing this for wildlife, trying to improve it after about 20 years of neglect. It has been an uphill struggle but we feel we are making progress although we would very much like to involve community groups more - if anybody has any tips on how to get schools interested, please let us know (we have contacted Forest Schools but the training is very expensive).
We are not open to the public all the time but we do hold Open Days and you would be most welcome to come if you are in the area. The next ones are on Sundays 27th September and 8th November. Details are on our web site www.alvecotewood.co.uk
Best wishes
Sarah
