OnWoods (Old Newton Community Woodland Group)
The Old Newton Community Woodland Project, called ONWOODS, was formally constituted in 2007, with the help of The Green Light Trust, and complies with Charity Commission rules.
OnWoods has signed an Agreement with the Parish Council to look after a small, half acre woodland area north of the Village on the Finningham Road.
We have working parties in the Little Wood usually on the second Saturday of the month, from 10 am till 12 pm.
The aim of the project is now to also to acquire a larger area of woodland closer to the centre of the village, where young and old can participate in creating and caring for “their” patch of land, and be involved in their local natural environment in a hands-on way.
ONWOODS is supported by the village school, can offer pupils a curriculum linked programme of activities. A “global link “is also planned linking the project in Old Newton, Gipping and Dagworth with other groups in different parts of the world.
If you would like to help or just follow our progress, then contact the project on 01449 673331
