THE Woodland Trust is planning to erect signage at Spud Wood, Lymm – some 23 years after starting work on planting the wood.
An application has been made to Warrington Borough Council for planning permission for several types of signs at the entrances to the wood in Stage Lane.
The main entrance and car park is in Stage Lane, but there are also entrances in Oughtrington Lane and Burford Lane and an unofficial footpath from adjoing Helsdale Wood – an area of ancient woodland.
The Woodland Trust started planting Spud Wood in 1998 on what was previously a potato field.
It was named by children at Oughtrington Primary School after a competition.
Now maturing, the 42-acre wood has two kilometers of footpath and a variety of native trees.
According to the Trst, it is alive with squirrels and birds and is an ideal spot for walking and picnics.
