Little Garden Wood is now

RAMSDEN’S Little Garden Wood

 

 

 

 

The Story so far.......

 

Lady Reilly planted the Wood and then gave it to the Woodland Trust in 1982. Since then it has been neglected.

Early in 2007, a group of residents decided to do something about this; they formed a company limited by guarantee called Little Garden Wood Limited and began negotiations with the Woodland Trust for a lease.

This has now been granted: the Company has a lease for ninety-nine years rent-free and has applied for charitable status.

An outline management plan has been agreed and the Woodland Trust has done some basic work to make the Wood fit for handover.

 

What happens next?

We need to plan what needs to be done, in terms of both muscle and money, to restore the Wood to an amenity which the Village can enjoy, and we can now begin to call-in the generous offers of help, both physical and financial, that have been made since this project began.
