The Friends of Park Wood is a community group set up in 2000 to:

‘investigate and evaluate the Park Wood heritage asset, explain its richness and diversity to local people, improve its community value, and reinforce local participation in its long term care’.

The Friends of Park Wood were awarded a Local Heritage Initiative grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund in August 2000, and have worked with the Woodland Trust to improve the management of the Wood, install amenities including seats and interpretation boards, and research its history.

The Woodland Trust has awarded its 'Volunteer Group of the Year' award to The Friends of Park Wood.

If you would like to help out, please come along to one of our events or work days.
