Friends of Oakley Wood

In September 2008, following the purchase of Oakley Wood by Warwick District Council, a small group of locals decided to form The Friends of Oakley Wood - to encourage enjoyment and an appreciation of this unique, valuable, local asset - for all to benefit and to liaise with the Warwick District Council as to the future of the Wood.

News Bulletin : WDC have advised us that the planned thinning of 30% of the wood this autumn has now been postponed due to difficulty getting planning permission to build a short road into the wood for access.The thinning will be put off until Autumn 2011. We are seeking more details and will post more news when we have it.

A gentle reminder to any members reading this that you will have received an email regarding this year’s subscription giving details so you can easily pay the £2 sub by electronic transfer. We really do need your support to be a stronger ‘voice’ when talking to Warwick District Council.
