Last weeks Tree Warden walk was a big success.
In spite of bad weather between 80 to 100 people turned up at Belmore Woods.
Marion Amos, Thorpe St Andrew Tree Warden, led the walk and pointed out many of the fascinating and beautiful species present in Belmore woods.
As many of you will know the owners of the wood, The Broadland Land Group (BLG), plan to build over at least a third of Belmore woods and therefore it was a surprise to see one of their number in the form of Gail Mayhew (who is married to one of the Trustees) on the walk.
At the end of the walk some of the Friends tried once again to ask her about BLG's plans but she refused to answer any questions.
The walk was covered in The Eastern Evening News on the 1st of July (please see attached) which once again highlighted the love that local people have for this 'popular beauty spot'.
We would like to thank Marion Amos and Steven Ford for organising the walk, Neil Evans for telling us about the history of the Second World War bunker located in the woods and everybody who turned up.
Hopefully we will be able to join the wardens for another walk before too long around Racecourse woods.
