Bracher's Wood (Near Rothwell)

It's been a couple of months since my last visit to Bracher's Wood where the Winter weather had revealed a discracefull secret where rubbish had been dumped over the fences that back directly on to this wood and I found everything from a kettle to a set of plastic garden chairs!

After I made contact with the Woodland Trust who are the landowners of this small wood, I recieved a reply saying they would be looking in to the issue and would get some contractors in to clear away the rubbish and get this wood back to it's former glory.

I'm pleased to say that the bulk of the rubbish has now been removed and replaced with not only some grass seed but quite a few saplings as well!

It's not perfect as I did still find some kitchen tiles and even a vaccuum cleaner in the undergroth and I thnk what remains of the childrens tent I found the last time I visited is still there so there is still some work to be done but it is so much better than it was and it looking a lot healthier than it did previously!
