What the charity does

We organise a variety of events and conservation tasks with the co-operation of Forestry England, and fund projects and improvements within Chopwell Wood. Work is carried out by a team of volunteers, both from our members and from the general public. We also produce information leaflets about the woodland and fund educational materials for use by visiting schools and other groups.
