We’ve working with
Silverdale District Woodbank, a community group dedicated to helping look after local woodlands, in conjunction with local landowners. From coppicing and clearing to identifying and mitigating at risk trees, branches and storm damage, working days at Leighton give volunteers the physical and mental wellbeing benefits of a day’s teamworking in nature, expert training and practical skills, plus their pick of cleared timber to add to their community woodbank. By opening up Leighton’s unique historic landscape, we gain so much more than healthy woodlands: a dynamic example of positive action through strong community partnership.
