Throughout the years this project should run we hope to have many events for all
to participate in, from the initial planting to surveys, parties, Willow
weaving and haymaking, moth and bird watching, wildlife surveys to maybe
even Shakespeare in the wood, who knows!
Other groups
have given us a host of ideas and we hope to use as many as we can.

Bluebell Walk.
Once again we are
hoping to organise this and this year open it up to other woodland
groups and advertise it with other Tree Wardens in the Maldon area to
get more takers. It is a unique opportunity to visit a working
woodland in our area, one of a handful still existing. Date to be
circulated, approx end of April....

Replanting the
lost trees on the Bradwell Road?
Helping Mundon
Parish council in Mundon Woods....?
Planting the
new woodland? ??????
**********************
Sadly we never heard from ECC
again re Bradwell Road, we will press them again.... Never had a reply
from Mundon either.... New Woodland, well the legal sides are
taking forever, but at least we still move forward.... 2009?
Latest from St. Paul's is very promising, they have offered even more
land! But another delay...
We will be doing our
annual Seed Gathering, more soon.
