The consultation is part of the Council’s grant bid to the Forestry Commission, in order to fund improvements for access and biodiversity on the site.
Proposals include approximately 2.5 km of new footpath, a new cycle link from the North of the site running down to the canal, approximately 1 hectare of coppicing along with a series of volunteer training days,
which will train people in coppicing, general woodland management and charcoal burning.
Council Leader, Cllr Miles Parkinson said “ We want as many people as possible to come along next Monday, to have a look at the proposals and have their say to make sure that the scheme meets their needs.”
