Friends of Oakley Wood have obtained a grant of £12,500 from the Central Warwickshire Villages Leader Project to fund work in the Wood over the next 2 years using a local company who use horses to haul timber in the traditional way. This will cause much less damage to the ground than using heavy machinery and enable work to be carried out in sensitive areas of the Wood. The work done by the horse loggers will be directed by WDC so that it can be integrated into the overall plan for managing Oakley Wood.

Included in the grant is funding towards using the horses in an 'Open Day' featuring other woodland crafts which we are planning for later this year or early 2013. We will be organising various other events during the year so watch in the local magazines or on the notice boards in the Wood for details.

Meanwhile, come along to our AGM on Thursday 23 February at the Bishops Tachbrook Sports & Social Club at 7.30 pm. We welcome your support.

If you would like to help ensure the future of Oakley wood then please visit the web-site www.saveoakleywood.org.uk. where more details can be found or look at the notice board in Barford Village shop.
