@AytounBarksBack Thank you so much, we did all we could to alert local people & nature lovers to the threat to this precious place and we’re over the moon that it’s safe for now at least 🌳

@JulezRyan Thanks Julie, it certainly is lovely to know the wood is safe, for now at least 🌳

Mother Nature is truly amazing. How Jay's turned a barley field into mature oak woodland in just 50 years!

#DidYouKnow the Great Wood is a #BiologicalHeritageSite? “.. a series of semi-natural woodlands and a lake situated alongside the river Chor and its tributaries as it flows through Astley Park. Most of the woodlands are listed in the Lancashire Inventory of Ancient Woodland"🌿🌳

There is hardly any #woodland left in West Lancashire, so every scrap is precious. One of those scraps is Alex Wood - a tiny site which is cared for by the @WoodlandTrust. We visited for the first time today; it is absolutely gorgeous. Small but mighty!

Great to see the work being done to look after over 1288 hectares of #naturalhabitat in #Lancashire #Manchester and #NorthMerseyside on our recent visit to @lancswildlife @visitBrockholes nature reserve 🌳
