Become a ‘Friend of Brookings Down Wood’

 

In the first five years we were successful in obtaining grants from such people as the Forestry Commission, Peoples’ Places (two awards), the Revelstoke Community Trust, the Community Woodland Network, South Hams District Council, Taylor’s of Harrogate, and we are very grateful to all of them as well as the original donors, who bought the Wood, and the Friends of Brookings Down Wood, who have taken an interest in the Wood

 

To improve and maintain the Wood, we need the continuing support of the local community, and a small financial reserve.   Some people – we could do with more – help us with working parties; many make a financial contribution and have become a ‘Friend of Brookings Down Wood’.

 

This combination – local support shown by work and money – has strengthened our applications for grants.   Although we do not need to apply for many large grants in the next few years, we still need money for instance, for third party insurance, to buy gloves, loppers and bow saws for the volunteers in our working parties, and service our strimmer.  And we still need some ‘professionals’ for some jobs such as felling dangerous trees.

 

Please support us by becoming a ‘Friend of Brookings Down Wood’ - subscribing £2.50 per year for 4 years; to save time and trouble we propose to collect a single sum of £10.
