Create Permissive Paths and Wildlife Corridors

We opened a new permissive path and wildlife corridor in the heart of the village in 2018. This involved: negotiations with 4 different land-owners; funding from the National Grid Community Grants; free trees from the Woodland Trust; volunteer input to create the path and plant new hedging; creation of picnic area with donated table.
