The Friends of the Folly group are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund.  This grant will be used to buy tools and will support our work to improve biodiversity and people's enjoyment of the woodlands. 

On Friday 19th July (10am-12) we will meet to discuss which tools we will need to carry out our work, and to check our storage facilities are suitable for storing the tools in a secure and organised way. 

There's not a lot to do in the woods at this time of year, although we will check that our wildflowers are growing, water and weed them if necessary, and ensure that there aren't too many brambles and nettles blocking the paths.
 
It's also a good time to discuss what we would like to do in the winter. This might include coppicing, planting new trees or bushes, improving paths and selecting the 'right' trees to grow in the understorey. 
 
Meet outside the Bemerton Centre on Pinewood Way at 10am. 
 
Join us if you can, but if not, feel free to post your ideas here or in on the Facebook page. I'll also be in the Community Garden from 2pm onwards.

The Environment Fund supports charitable and community activities across the region that have a positive impact on the local environment. The fund is part of the Wessex Water Foundation which provides dedicated funding for projects across the Wessex Water region every year.
