Thanks to TCV (The Conservation Volunteers) organisation who provided a mixed hedgerow selection of trees free of charge we were able to plant a new hedgerow at the bus terminus entrance to the wood during our conservation morning today. Hopefully it will grow into a wild-life friendly habitat over the next few years. 

 

Many thanks Chris Roberts (Ranger) and to those who turned out today. We soon warmed up once we started working

A great session on Sunday. Andy, Mick and Chris M. raking the meadow in the sun, perfect. Chris Roberts the photographer. (Thanks, Chris for the photo!)  Just the four of us all morning.

AGM 7th April 2025

Friends of Gillfield Wood will be holding their Annual General Meeting on Monday 7th April in Totley Library at 7.30pm.

 

The actual AGM will be quite short but will be followed by an open meeting with presentations from some of the committee members covering aspects of conservation work, flora and fauna of the wood and how we have been able to gain funding through the Peak Park for improved access.

 

Entry is free for members and non members, We are also looking for new committee members to help in the general running of the group. No experience necessary as we all muck in. If anyone would like a bit more information please drop me an email fogwsecretary@gmail.com

Practical Conservation Sessions, led by a Ranger.
