We are running an Open Evening at the Woods tonight, from 6pm-8pm. All the main paths have been mown so access is very good. Free entry. No guided tours etc. Just a nice place to have a walk around on a warm summer's evening. Come and enjoy :-)

This Wednesday's Open Evening is looking like it will have excellent weather that will hopefully bring out the dragonflies and butterflies as well as showing off the beautiful wildflowers, not to mention the wonderful trees! More information on Facebook:

In the light of the current Corona Virus situation, we are not able to run any Open Days at the Woods so I have made an impromptu 'Spring Tour' video, mostly filmed last Sunday so you can see how the Woods looks without having to venture out:

Enjoy 🙂

We're going ahead with our first Open Day of 2020 at the Woods on Sunday, but CV.19 restrictions mean only local people can come, I'm afraid, and we have several adjustments to avoid unnecessary risk. More info including special restrictions on Facebook: https://t.co/f29kH1S5WU

[Alvecote Wood @AlvecoteWood]

Thank you to everyone that came to our Open Day yesterday. We had a great turnout, including two primary school teachers that are hoping to bring many more school children to the Woods in 2020 - Great! Not much cake left, afterwards, but that's fine. Yum!

The last Open Day of 2019 is this Sunday, 24th November. We are pleased to have had excellent support from so many people during this year - thank you, to everyone - and will have slices of fruit cake free for visitors to celebrate, whilst stocks last :-)

The oil companies knew, remarkably accurately, way back around 1980, that Climate Change would happen and burning fossil fuels would be a primary cause of it.

We have another Open Day today, 29th September. We are open from 10am-4pm. Free entry. The paths are all mowed so it's easy to get around. You might need a coat as well as boots if you catch a shower :-)

The first Hairy Dragonfly for 2019 at Alvecote @AlvecoteWood (actually in Betty's Wood), thanks to @keithwarmie. We're always pleased to see Hairy's come back each year, so well done Keith for spotting this one :-)

[Alvecote Wood @AlvecoteWood]

We have another Open Day on Sunday, 26th May. We are open from 10am-4pm. Free entry. The paths are all mowed so it's easy to get around. That's a good thing, as we've just today delivered our tractor to a firm of agricultural engineers to do some repair work on the hydraulics :-)

The world needs to wake up to the situation we're in. The sooner the rest of the media follow the Guardian's lead, the better. Big time.
