From Monday 6 November 2017  to 1 March 2018, coppicing will be taking place alongside the Park Wood footpath.

Coppicing increases the structural and compositional diversity of a woodland by opening up the canopy to provide varying light levels and encouraging a range of different aged trees in the woodland.  This encourages growth of different species of flora on the woodland floor which in turn attracts a wider range of fauna increasing the overall biodiversity of the area.

There will be some noise disruption and a footpath adjacent to the main Park Wood footpath will be closed while the works are carried out.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and if there are any queries please contact the Estates Helpdesk on ext 3209.
