Friends of Wooler Common The page for anybody who visits, uses or loves Wooler Common. We welcome runners, MTBs, twitchers, walkers, wheelchair users, dogs, tourists and children.

We would love to receive posts from local groups that use the facilities or enjoy the area. Runners, MTBers, schools etc. If you have photographs of the wildlife and flora you would like to share please post and tell us what you saw. If you would like to get involved please send us a message and we can let you know when there is a working group up at the site. We need help feeding birds in winter, putting bird boxes up and planting bulbs. Don't forget to leave the place as you found it for the enjoyment of others. We look forward to seeing you.

A death in the community......Unfortunately a red squirrel was run over today in between the duck pond car park and the forestry turning point. Please take extra care when driving along the road as the squirrels are busy filling their larders and are notoriously bad at crossing the road. Nice picture here to save you all the gory and saddening sight that was on the roadside.

Couple of things....
1. Potholes are bing mended on the road up to the ponds so just be careful passing the crew working there as it is narrow.
2. The bench installed for the Beecrofts is in need of either repair or removal. Could any of the family could contact us through messenger. It's where the path widens out near the squirrel feeder.

Nature report....
For anyone who likes spiders, there are plenty of little red ones to be seen.
For lovers of red squirrels (everyone), we have seen greys arriving at the ponds in recent weeks. There will be a further post on this to let you know how you can help save our local population.

Great News....Alex at Forestry England has informed us that work starts tomorrow on pond clearances at Wooler Common. Not only is the main pond being cleared out but also the 100% overgrown pond further upstream (yes there is another pond).

The pond work will be followed by footpath improvements in areas where the surface has failed or where roots have uplifted the surface.

Please follow safety signage whilst the works are in progress.
