Friends of Adel Woods had a stall at the Alwoodley Parish Community Picnic this afternoon. Alwoodley Parish Council, Alwoodley 2030, Incredible Edible Alwoodley, and Incredible Edible Moortown were also there.
Though overcast at 2 pm, it turned into a beautiful afternoon and we all really enjoyed the event.
Steve Joul, our committee member and ace naturalist, brought two quizzes and spent the afternoon entertaining the public, and yours truly led a twenty minute “mindfulness walk” along Crag Lane and back.
“I really enjoyed yesterday, especially the mindfulness walk and the quizzes. Thank you everyone.”
“…some great networking went on between the groups and people clearly enjoyed the quiz.”
We were also grateful to Dan Cohen, the Lord Mayor of Leeds, who came with the Lady Mayoress to support the event.
Join Friends of Adel Woods
We hope that you have enjoyed reading about our activities and would be delighted if you would like to join us.
Friends of Adel Woods were formed in 2009 to help maintain Adel Woods and encourage people to enjoy them. We meet one weekend morning a month to carry out various jobs or ”work parties”, and we also put on educational events such as bat walks, fungal forays and birdsong walks.
We are a very friendly group and welcome new members who want to help preserve our special woods, enjoy fresh air and exercise in the woods, and make new friends.
If you would like to take part in our activities, keep an eye on our Home Page and come along to one of our work parties. Our next work party is on Saturday 13th September, and we are putting on a Fungal Foray on the 5th October.
