This Saturday morning, Unigate Wood was buzzing with more than just birdsong. A fantastic group of volunteers from Friends of Unigate Wood and the ever-energetic GoodGym laced up their boots, rolled up their sleeves, and leafed their worries behind to tackle overgrown paths. Armed with hedge trimmers and shear determination, they set out to clear and widen the trails, making the woods more accessible for walkers, wanderers, and woodland creatures alike. It was a real labour of glove as brambles were banished and paths were pruned to perfection.

The result? A newly spruced-up woodland walkway that’s nothing short of tree-mendous. Whether you’re a jogger, stroller, or Sunday rambler, the paths are now primed for your next forest fix. A huge branch of gratitude goes out to the volunteers who trimmed their schedules to make a real impact. They didn’t bark up the wrong tree—they made sure nature lovers can enjoy the peace, beauty, and open paths of Unigate Wood all year round.

Lovely woods. Ad interesting to hear from Iain Boulton about plans for various parks.

My other thought is perhaps a 2 hour session next time - rather than 3 hours. As there was talk of starting a bit later and we finished early.
