On Tuesday 28th January The Hyndburn’s Woodlands Volunteers were at Woodnook Vale LNR for a different kind of session!
This week, we were joined by Imogen, from Imogen Storey Gardens, who kindly offered her expertise on live Willow structures! Imogen showed myself and volunteers how to correctly weave live Willow into a desired shape so that it grows into a frame.
The Willow structure in question has been on Woodnook Vale for many years but has fallen into disrepair. The aim of the project is to get the Willow Arch back into its ‘domed’ shape that will offer shelter for the two benches present. The arch is located along Woodnook Vale LNR, just below the entrance to Jubilee woodlands. W3W location is baker.removes.mended
Activity funded by Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund.
