On Wednesday 11th March 2026 the Hyndburn’s Woodland’s Project carried out some habitat improvement works at Whinney Hill woodland.
Volunteers had previously helped to make 18 bat boxes through the project, a number of bird boxes were also previously made with school groups.
With the help of Henderson Landscaping Services, 18 bat boxes and 12 bird boxes were hung around the woodland. This will improve the overall biodiversity value of the site. We also hope to encourage more bats to occupy the woodland, which in turn will provide more scope for carrying out public bat walks in the future
As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible
