Cairnhill Woods

Yesterday (22 October 2012) I visited Cairnhill Woods following an invitation from Emma of the Cairnhill Woods Group.

The woodlands are part of a 'green corridor' that stretches from Dawsholm Park LNR to Garscadden Wood LNR and Emma and her group are keen to see their woods also declared as a Local Nature Reserve.

The woods already have some good information boards.................................

 

and a network of informal paths........................................................................

 

 

Residents have undertaken clean ups and the woodlands are clearly an excellent local resource. The Group has already made contact with fungi and moth experts and I have agreed to help provide some bird information for the area.

It is great to see a local community get involved in protecting and enhancing their local greenspace and I wish them all the best for the future. Check out their web site at https://sites.google.com/site/westertonvillage/cairnhill-woods-group
