Following the talk on 23 May, to the Kidderminster Branch by Gordon Forrest about Chaddesley Woods, we will pay a visit to the area when we will be guided around by the Warden. Chaddesley Woods is an extensive (250 acre) ancient woodland consisting of mixed woodland with traditional oak and hazel coppice, a conifer plantation and a meadow area. It all sounds very interesting. There is limited parking along Woodcote Green Lane. Please arrange to fill cars as much as possible to cut down the number. |
