Friends of Spud Wood (FoSW) has grown out of the Low Carbon Lymm (LCL) tree group.
We work with the Woodland Trust site manager for Spud Wood and with his guidance and support undertake woodland management. This includes coppicing of hazel around the edges of the wood, thinning the trees within the wood (through the wood allotment group) to allow in more light and enable the trees to continue to grow and thrive. Without thinning the trees will compete and many will die off naturally – we are just speeding up this process. We are also tree planting, hedge laying and run a variety of activity days.
If you want to get involved email us – see the contact us page for more details.
