erra - friends of danby wood
Saturday 17th November was the perfect day for working in the wood. This session saw our Action Team taking the lead on several tasks with the help of 32 enthusiastic volunteers. As usual we had a bonfire and our welcome tea break and catch up with volunteers.
A vast variety of work consisted of the planting of young trees and litter picking, cutting back selected ivy from trees, removing fallen and damaged tree, plus clearance in preparation for a wildflower glade.
There is an interesting blog about Danby Wood, posted by Chris Stebbing on the Norwich Fringe Project Blog Site here:

danby wood plant survey
Over recent months, Janet Higgins an Eaton village resident and member of our Friends of Danby Wood has carried out an extensive survey of the plant life in Danby Wood. It shows how species rich the woods are and we thank Janet for her time and enthusiasm in carrying out this survey.
