Green workout in Kiveton Wood
Hannah Darcel, Forestry Commission ranger, with willing volunteers signed up for woodland workout sessions which get underway in Kiveton Community Wood.
RANGERS have come up with the perfect way to shed the pounds and help nature.
The Forestry Commission has launched a woodland workout project in Kiveton Community Wood to help people stay in trim and improve wildlife habitats. Now a recruitment drive is underway to get adults to go green and sign up.
Hannah Darcel, Forestry Commission ranger, said: “There are loads of tasks that need doing, from removing ragwort, pruning, thinning birch and creating paths. It’s a great way to stay active and meet new friends and has a really positive impact on your sense of wellbeing.”
Fortnightly Thursday sessions take place from 27th September until the end of the year, from 9.30am-12.30pm.
Volunteers will be taught how to use a range of tools safely to improve the flourishing wood.
Hannah added: “People can work at their own pace and there’s a real sense of satisfaction in doing something positive for the environment.”
To join the woodland workout and for more information call Hannah on 07789 942599 or email hannah.darcel@forestry.gsi.gov.uk.
Refreshments will be provided.
