Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
We want to extend our warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of our members, volunteers and supporters.
This year, together, we’ve accomplished some incredible achievements, most notably successfully purchasing and securing the central plot of Buckenham Wood. We couldn't have reached this significant milestone without your kindness and dedication.
We look forward to making continued progress in 2025 towards our charitable purposes of conserving the physical and natural environment of the wood and enhancing biodiversity for quiet enjoyment by our visitors.
May your holiday season be filled with joy, peace and love.
