Groups should obtain permission from the Woodland Trust. The Trust expects you to complete a risk assessment and to take care of the woodland.

Safety: a road divides the woodland into two; also see safety advice sheet.

Summer Vegetation: Some plaques are difficult to see in summer undergrowth, including those on paths.

Missing Plaques: None reported.
