🌳🪵 Friends of Ladbroke Wood (through the gate, on the left at the bottom of Jackson Gardens) would like to say a huge thank you to the brick makers, WEINERBERGER on Windmill Lane. Their very kind donation of £250 will help us purchase much-needed equipment.
What we also need are more volunteers as we continue to open and maintain more paths, remove invasive weeds and introduce more native woodland flowers and plants to the area.
We would like to invite you to join us for a guided walk through the woods next Sunday 31st May 2026. We will meet at the garages at the bottom of Jackson Gardens at 10.30am.
We do have a couple of petrol strimmers, several pairs of powerful secateurs, gloves, rakes etc if you do want to get involved on the day. Also, if you have a cordless strimmer of your own, it would be great if you could bring it: we do have quite a lot of Himalayan Balsam that we are trying to cut down before it gets chance to flower and set more seed.
There is a shorter, flatter walk or a longer, much steeper walk crossing the brook twice by bridge and stepping stones so suitable footwear is advised.
