About us

Hob Hey Wood Friends group was set up to look after Hob Hey Wood, ensuring it remains a beautiful place for both people and the wildlife that lives there.

Anyone can join the group: all are welcome.

Management Plan

There is a five year management plan in place for Hob Hey Wood. This is designed to protect the structure of the woodland,improve the biodiversity, native species composition and encourage public access by use of pathways only.

History

Today, Hob Hey Wood is a small area of woodland set in the valley of a small stream, surrounded by farmland. Hundreds of years ago, things were very different.

Our next volunteer day is Saturday 17th May

Meet at the main bridge in the wood at 09:30 as usual.

We will be looking at step repair and and vegetation removal.

Last volunteer day

On April 16th we performed a spring 'hay cut' of our meadow. This removes nutrients, hopefully encouraging wildflowers.
