As part of the Meanwood Valley, Wilderness on your Doorstep project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, three interpretation panels are going to be placed in Adel Woods – similar in style to the one by the Slabbering Baby.
Today, David Preston, the Meanwood Valley Ranger, met with FOAW committee members, Roger, Judith and Rob, to agree the siting of the new interpretation panels – which we are hoping will be installed in the next few weeks.
There are two designs of panel. The design shown at the head of this post will be placed on the path from Buckstone Road down to the Slabbering Baby and on Crag Lane near Adel (or Alwoodley) Crag. The other will be placed on Adel Moor.
We agreed the panel on Adel Moor will be installed at the north eastern corner of the moor, where various paths converge.
The moor is looking very good at the moment, and it hasn’t been abandoned during covid-19 lockdown. One of our committee members has been pulling bracken, and David Preston will be strimming areas where the bracken has suppressed all other plant life.
We agreed to place the final interpretation panel at the junction of Crag Lane with the path leading up to Adel Crag.
We are looking forward to seeing the new interpretation panels in place in the next few weeks.
