Saltburn Valleys

08/06/2026

12 trustees and members of Saltburn Valleys CIO enjoyed the walk in Rifts Wood on Monday morning despite a bit of rain at the beginning. Stewart Ramsdale shared his knowledge of the heritage of the area and Alan Simkins his funghi knowledge as we walked along the Cleveland Way path to the Millfield Meadow and Marske Mill site. It was good to have a couple of the Countryside Volunteers amongst the group to tell us more about their input into maintaining the wood and meadow. The work in the Meadow is particularly inspiring.
Sue Featherstone had the kettle on back at the The Woodlands Centre ready for a welcome cuppa.

And we have the volunteers who work behind the scenes, doing things like admin and bidding for funding. Thank you to the board members, who you can "meet" here:

🌳Rifts Wood and the Meadow🌳
There has been much activity in the area of Rifts Wood and The Meadow in the past month, most of it positive.
Funding has been found, allowing new sculpture work to be introduced into the Meadow.
The Countryside Team have worked exceptionally hard with Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council to enhance the attractiveness and accessibility of the land area.
Spectacular wood carvings have been funded, seating has been erected and general encouragement given to people to stay longer in this enchanting space.

Beautiful wood carvings by Steve Iredale Sculpture - the message on the log says "Rest a while in the whispering meadow".
