Community Woodland for Grove

Residents must have noticed the new trees (pictured above) which have been planted next to the Mably Way Health Centre and the new sports pitches in Grove. This is going to be a community woodland in the future with open access for all. The trees have to be planted quite closely to start with to ensure that the best ones will continue to grow whilst the smaller ones can be removed. It is also fenced off at the moment so that it can be kept secure and minimise damage from rabbits etc. This is all being managed by the Vale Council who have a long term lease on the land. We can look forward to watching this grow knowing that it will be an asset to the communities of Grove and Wantage in the future.

This has all been planned for some time so I am pleased that action has taken place now that the sports pitches have been completed. All being well, the new pitches will be ready to hand over later on in the year.
