Who
are we?
Friends of
Hollingbury and Burstead Woods are a group of local people who look after
two areas of woodland off Ditchling Road near Hollingbury Golf Course. The
aim of the group is for people to be able to enjoy the area and for
wildlife to thrive.
What we do - We meet once a month to
carry out practical work in the woods, ranging from tree and hedge planting
to path maintenance and litter clearance. This work is carried out under
the guidance of a Brighton and Hove Park Ranger and our group’s Project
Officer.
Work sessions – On the first weekend of the
month, alternating between a Saturday and a Sunday, we run work sessions
from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Gloves and tools are provided and no
special skills are required - just enthusiasm! For tasks such as tree
thinning and planting a new hedge, training is given. The work is not
too arduous and everyone works at their own pace.
We stop mid morning for a break and a chat, with coffee, tea and biscuits
provided. See the Activities
page for dates and details.
