November is rushing past and the festive month of December is almost upon us.
The Autumn weather has been unseasonably dry and warm so many shrubs and trees have yet to loose their last leaves. The beech trees have produced a deep, crisp, rustling layer of leaves in parts of the woods this year, great fun for children and grown-ups to scuffle through.
Wildlife is settling down for the colder weather. Swallows have flown south, Snipe have joined us from the colder North and Buzzards and Red Kite have been circling and seem slightly ominous at this time of year
Troserch Woods benefited from the work of a working party of volunteers from the Prince's Trust last month. There is a new path with steps connecting the East side loop to the riverside path creating another circular route. A big thank-you to all who took part.
Troserch Woods now has a Facebook page for news and photos etc. The web page and these updates will continue alongside the Facebook page
We are always looking for ways to include members and realise that working parties in the woods are not to everybody's taste. If anyone is interested in taking on the role of membership secretary, we'd be delighted and no need to even put your wellies on! Just get in touch or come along to the next regular committee meeting (Next one is Wednesday January 4th)
Finally, rather than holding a meeting in December this year, we will be celebrating the festive season with a working party weeding our Christmas tree plantation by torchlight.
Meet in the main carpark at 6pm on Weds 7th December. Bring suitable clothing, footwear and a torch. A Festive celebration with a difference! Hope to see you there.
Wishing all TWS members a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year
