THE FRIENDS OF SHILLINGFORD WOOD

The charity "The Friends of Shillingford Wood" fund raised to purchase a small ancient wood just on the edge of the village for the community. The wood is an area that is now community owned, it is a place for nature to thrive, for the public to walk in and a place to offer education in the form of for example, a moth hunt. We strive to encourage community involvement, participation in events.
