What’s happening in Nore Barn
Woods?
August 2008
The last work day of Summer was held on July 19, and much effort was
expended in keeping the Wayfarers Walk path clear of nettles. This is an
on-going task. The next work day is September – see below.
Nore Barn Woods was the conservation entry for Havant Borough Council into
the “South and South East In Bloom” competition, and the judges visited the
woods on 2nd July. Results are due in September.
Summer is now advancing quickly, despite rains in late July the woods are
very dry. Several bonfires lit by youths have caused concern and the
Community Safety Officers have increased their patrolling.
On a more positive note, sparrowhawks (apparently not kestrels) nesting in
the centre of the woods have produced three young.
The next work day will be held on the following Saturday 20th September
10:00 to 12:00 noon. All welcome. Meet at the shore end of Warblington Road.
