Future FQW aims

Here are our main objectives for FQW activity in the wood, forged in partnership with the London Borough of Haringey's nature conservation officer:

  • Planned management of the wood.  This includes cutting back some of the more intrusive holly and coppicing to allow more light onto the woodland floor
  • Continuing the Friends' regular work in litter picking, cutting back unwanted seedlings (e.g. English Ash) and other conservation work including coppicing in co-operation with the LBH Conservation Officer
  • Continuing to co-operate with the tenants at the Lodge who manage the cafe and organic garden
  • Organising regular events in the wood and at the Lodge including events for children such as bat walks and story telling
  • Contributing to improvements such as vandal-proof litter bins and benches made from recycled materials
  • Supporting the use of the wood by theatre groups and appropriate art events
  • A key ongoing plan is to improve the paths and make the major ones disabled and pushchair friendly
