The Yoxwood project has been running for a few years now. Many trees have been planted and are now growing from saplings to trees. The field is located off The Lane on the right hand-side just past the allotments. It can also be accessed via the cemetery. It is open to the public all the time. There are benches and a picnic bench. Dogs are allowed on site but should be kept on leads. If you haven’t been before why not take a look?
Become a ‘Friend of Yoxwood’ by donating £10 to help maintain this lovely woodland. To continue our progress we need your support to raise a small annual maintenance income so please consider becoming a Friend of Yoxwood. Call Sandy on 01728 668084.
The pizza oven is free to use for all members. We would ask that you supply your own wood for the pizza oven and take any waste away with (please do not use the cemetery bins)
We are currently looking for enthusiastic people who are prepared to give a little of their time to help us take this exciting project forward.
Come join us at a work party. All welcome. Every 2nd Sunday of the month at the Yoxwood field in the lane off Little Street (next to the allotments)
Please wear suitable footwear and bring some gardening gloves. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult for health and safety reasons.
Also we can now offer a site to plant a Memorial tree for a loved one.
