Volunteering at Sherwood Pines Forest Park

 

Sherwood Pines Forest Park is developing a centre of Excellence for Off Road Cycling.  This will include the creation of sustainable, inspiring facilities that can be enjoyed by a wide range of visitors.  We have begun construction of the 6 mile XC (cross country) route which takes in both existing and newly constructed trails. Also in planning or under construction are: a bike park including dirt jumps and some new northshore, a skills loop (construction beginning May.. volunteers needed!), a family cycle route (nearing completion) and an Adventure Cycle route (coming soon).

If you would like to become involved with the XC route, there are several dig days over the next few weeks.  Come down to the woods and meet Ranger Becky outside the Café at about 10.00am, (bring your bike so you can ride to the worksite) and we will return at about 1.00pm. All dates below are at the weekends.

5th & 6th April
26th & 27th April
3rd & 4th May

All tools will be provided by the Forestry Commission, please wear appropriated clothing (something you do not mind getting dirty).

Becky also like to say a big thank you to all of the people who have come along and helped us out already.  The trails you have built are bedding down nicely and it was awesome to meet you all!
