We’re pleased to say that we’re coming to the end of our works enhancing the wildlife value of Carr’s Wood and Pennyquick Park in Twerton. Through funding from Network Rail, our partners and teams of volunteers have spent the last few years planting trees, sowing wildflowers, running events and generally making the site more wildlife friendly.
The last of the works are now underway with our contractors replanting a selection of trees and shrubs in areas of the woodland where diseased ash have been felled, opening up the pathway through the eastern woods to allow in more light, and planting more trees to create a graded edge to the woodland.
Almost 1000 trees have been planted and we hope that the grassland seeding will see wildflower numbers steadily increase in the coming years across a swathe of the field. Thank you to Network Rail, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, players of the national lottery, our volunteers and to all those involved.
