🪾 Notification of a damaged ash tree near meadow 3🌳

Hello everyone just to let you know that we're aware of an ash tree that has come down on the path around meadow 3. Please take care on any walks as the path is currently impassable.

We are talking to our contractors and it will be dealt with and cleared as soon as we can.

Thank you,

🌿 We'd love to hear your views

We're asking everyone who uses and enjoys Gedling House Woods to help shape the future of our woodland paths.

Your experiences, ideas and feedback will help us understand how the paths are used, the challenges people face, and how we can best manage them in the years ahead.

Whether you're a regular visitor or only visit occasionally, we'd really appreciate a few minutes of your time.

👉 Take part in the consultation here: https://www.fghw.org.uk/woodland-paths-consultation/

Thank you for helping us care for our woods and meadows for everyone to enjoy.

🌳 Tree Damage Update

We’ve been made aware of a damaged tree on one of the paths in Gedling House Woods.

We’re in contact with our contractor to arrange for the tree to be assessed and dealt with safely. At present, the tree appears stable and there is no immediate need to close the path, but we would encourage visitors to take extra care in the area, particularly during windy conditions.

We’ll provide a further update if the situation changes.

Thank you to everyone who has reported it to us.

MEADOWS ARE NOW OPEN 💚

A quick heads-up that the meadows will be temporarily closed from 8am on Monday 1st June while essential meadow management work takes place. 🌿

Contractors will be carrying out targeted w**d spot spraying in selected areas to help protect the long-term health and diversity of the wildflower meadows.

The work is carefully controlled, uses approved products, and forms part of the wider conservation management of the reserves.

The meadows will remain closed throughout Monday and overnight following the spraying, with reopening expected on the morning of Tuesday 2nd June.

Thanks, as always, for your patience and support while we carry out this important work.

We’re now just 8 members away from reaching 100. 🌿

A huge thank you to everyone who has already joined and supported Friends of Gedling House Woods. Your memberships genuinely help us care for the woods and meadows for people and wildlife alike.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, now would be a brilliant time. 💚
