On Tuesday 6th January 2026 the Hyndburn’s Woodland’s project (wanted) to kick the New Year off with a litter pick, the recent snowfall did make this a little challenging, but to our surprise the woodland had accumulated very little rubbish over the Christmas break!
We did, however, have a few trees that had come down, so we took to tackling those instead! The trees were quite manageable (being on the ground always helps!), so we managed to get them cleared with little difficulty. Volunteers wore their safety helmets and utilised hand tools like bow saws, pruning saws, and loppers to remove the bulk of the brash, with the main trunk following. It was a very cold day, but the activity certainly kept us warm through the cold!
Thank you to our amazing volunteers for helping us keep Hyndburn’s Woodlands safe and tidy!
As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible
