What’s happening in Nore Barn
Woods?
|September 2010
Path repairs in the SW corner of the woods are now complete. The path was
damaged in the storms of March 2008, with the gravel and membrane being washed
away. Also repairs have been carried out in the bridge area to prevent the bank
being eroded and to realign the stream.
A 4WD vehicle has unfortunately driven across the mudflats, got stuck, and
damaged the Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). The authorities
have been notified.
The annual grass cut of the open area has taken place. The grass is only cut
once a year and raked up, in order to promote wild flowers.
An application for Planning Permission is in preparation for work on the seawall
to prevent erosion. Also a grant application is being made.
A number of fires have occurred in the woods (about one a week). If any
incidents are noticed please dial 101 and report them.
A work day was not held in August, but future work days will be held on the
following Saturdays 10:00 to 12:00 noon. All welcome. Meet at the shore end of
Warblington Road.
