Crooked Brook Forest Group
March 2014
A trip out to the Crooked Brook Forest will reveal our recent progress. The car park had to be changed a bit as there was too small a turning circle for the bigger busses. That has now been completed. The car bays are now bollarded and there is loads of parking space for you. There is still quite a deal of planting to take place to bring the surrounds of the parking area back to a natural undisturbed setting and our busy bee volunteers will rip the ground, spread topsoil and plant seedlings to get it off to a good start. That will take place this winter.
We have recently installed a new footbridge on the “Jarrah Walk” because the old stepping stones were often submerged in winter. The new bridge will make the trail easy for all, wet and dry weather. Try it out!
Plans for a nature based playing equipment that may amuse the younger folk while adults chew the cud at the picnic tables will be discussed at the next committee meeting. This will be a significant project for and will involve a good number of busy bees, led of course by Rob Dixon.
Later in the year we will be celebrating the 20th year that this volunteer group has been operating. Can you imagine that, a group of volunteers consistently making a difference for 20 years?
Our visitor book comments reveal that Anne and Tessie write most often and that our forest attracts people from all over the world.
The Association is always keen to welcome new members, join us for a busy bee or to just find out what is going on contact Peter Robinson, Chairman 9728 0490 or [email protected]
