Exploring the woods

THE Woodland Trust is encouraging Warrington people to go down to the woods and explore.
As part of a campaign to get people to visit their nearest “undiscovered wood” the group has set up VisitWoods.org.uk which features more than 10,000 woods open to the public across the UK.
Many of the woods listed contain no information or photos, so the trust wants people to upload photos and information to the website to help future visitors.
Local woods listed include Gorse Covert, off Rockingham Close, and Enfield Park Road Woods, near Poulton Golf Course.
Gail Graham, VisitWoods project manager, said: “The beauty of VisitWoods.org.uk is that most of the information is added by people who have visited each individual wood.
“By adding photos, blogs and access information it informs others who may be planning a visit of what to expect. We’re hoping people will be keen to take up the challenge of exploring our ‘undiscovered woods’ and tell others about what they discover.”
