Woodland Open Day: September 2025

SUNDAY 21st September, 10am-3pm

Come and see what goes on behind the scenes in our compound at Birchanger Wood and then enjoy a stroll around our beautiful wood as the season begins to turn.

We will have fun activities for the whole community, like crafting for children, and wood turning demonstrations. It’s completely free to attend, although donations are gratefully received. A card reader will be available and cash is also welcomed.

Our team will be on hand to explain the work that goes into protecting the wood, and we’ll have items for sale to help raise funds. And we’re always keen to hear from people who would like to volunteer with us. More details will follow soon, but for now: save the date!

Find us at our compound just off Heath Row, next to the water tower.

The changing face of Birchanger Wood

A message from our Warden, Pat Forrest

Unfortunately, the time has come (as we knew it would) for us to deal with the impact of Ash dieback, a fungal disease affecting Ash trees in the wood.

Sadly in certain areas this will result in swathes of woodland being left devoid of trees. The areas most affected being along the banks of the stream and behind Birchwood School.

Ash sited away from the pathways, and therefore not posing any problem to the many who enjoy walking the wood, will be left to decay naturally, benefiting nature as a habitat for copious life forms. The diseased trees on the path edges will be dealt with by our group of volunteers during the course of the next five years, I do hope I am not being too ambitious regarding this time span!

Please be aware that in order to access the Ash, other species will ultimately suffer, the felling of healthy trees in this regard is an unavoidable and regrettable consequence that we have to accept.

Please do feel free to call in on a Saturday and have a chat, raising any concerns that you may have with regard to the proposed felling programme. We genuinely wish to harmonise and encourage patronage of the wood. We certainly do not want to alarm users when witnessing felling on such a dramatic scale.

Just a footnote, these works do not fall into the category of general coppicing and woodland management.
