About Dinnington Community Woodland

 

The site is owned by The Land Trust and managed by the Forestry Commission

Dinnington is fast gaining a reputation for its birdlife, over 50 species have been seen in a single day.

There is a bird hide overlooking the wetland area so you can see what interesting birds are visiting the site.

Close to the local community this woodland and wetland area is full of newly planted trees and wildflowers.

The woodland is fantastic for an evening walk or an afternoon out with the family for fun and picnics.

For the second year in a row my children and I have taken part in the 'Halloween Horrors' at Dinnington comunity woodland. On both occasions it has been a well organised, interesting and fun afternoon that all the family have enjoyed. My children especially liked the fact that they came away with pumpkins that they were able to help make and the quiz along the way was entertaining for all ages. This is a free activity which is always a bonus - but if you were to place a small charge of ■2 it would still be very good value for an afternoon of family fun. A huge thankyou to the Rangers for organising it and we will look forward to participating again next year.

What a fantastic event. I am surprised that t5here was no charge. This is good,but the current climate dictates a charge for the event i feel to continue. I have certainly no problems in a charge for further events being levied!
