Spout House community woodland hosted the event, organised by Hyndburn Council, as the local event for National Tree Week on Saturday 29th November.
A very popular activity was to make bird boxes from locally sourced timber to provide more nesting sites for woodland birds. People also decorated the boxes by stencilling leaves of the trees found in the woodland.
Making a link through the generations, one group of children made a ‘family’ bird box and said they are going to bring their grandparents for a walk to see it.
Pictured with their bird box in a beech tree are cousins Isabelle Heys (front left), Caitlin Birtwell (front right) with Iona Birtwell and Elijah Heys.
Mum Laura Heys said; “Many thanks for the event, we all had a lovely time. Mum and dad live nearby so they’ll enjoy coming over with the kids to see the bird box.”
