Sara Noon from the group said: “We’re raising funds to make improvements to the wood including putting in footpaths to make the area accessible to all.

“We’re also getting the whole community and local scout groups involved in planting native plants and trees to increase biodiversity and working to minimise invasive plants such as Himalayan Balsam.”
