Recent Work In The Wood
If you have been for a walk around Holyland Wood recently, you will have noticed that we have done a bit of tree felling and clearing.

The work we have done is a result of a tree safety inspection carried out during November. We identified a number of trees that either posed a hazard because of dead branches and limbs or were growing across pathways.

Although it may look drastic, we have only removed trees that were considered likely to be a problem in the future. We realise that within the heart of the wood there are a number of trees that are likely to fall or shed branches in the future; however, as they are well away from the paths, these should not harm visitors to the reserve. Everyone is advised to keep to the paths and not venture off the waymarked route.
We have only tackled those trees that we could manage from the ground.

There are still some larger trees that will require the services of a professional tree surgeon. We will be seeking estimates for this work in due course.

The Management Group of Holyland Wood hope that you continue to enjoy everything that the reserve has to offer in the future.
Pembroke 21C Community Association held their Annual General Meeting last week. As the leaseholder of the reserve a short report was prepared and presented at the meeting. You can read the report by following this link on the Foundry House web site: https://foundryhousepembroke.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/AGM-2023-PACK-edit1.pdf
The Holyland Wood Volunteers will be undertaking a New Year Work Party to tidy up the reserve. Please look out for the announcements of the date and time, and come along if you can.
