From the 5th June for one week the footpath MLAV2 will be closed from the Grove Road entrance to the Ladywood entrance for river and bank repairs
Additionally, there will be no public access to Canada woods from the 21st August for one month.
After almost 2 years of preparation the regeneration work on Canada Woods will begin this year. Adam Lonsdale of Wiltshire Countryside Services and his team will be starting the felling on the 21st August; this will last for approximately two weeks. Following this he will provide logging horses to extract the timber to Grove Road for onward transport and sale.
Throughout this time for your own safety and for the safety of the working contractors there will be NO PUBLIC ACCESS TO CANADA WOODS.
When the canopy has been reduced and the understory begins to grow, we can look forward to the return of the birds, butterflies, flowers and mammals which have been missing for many years. The saplings will be able to grow on with the light and nutrients they need to secure the future of Canada Woods.
Along with the river bank repairs and the new pedestrian access to the river we hope you will enjoy Canada Woods for many years to come.
