Woodswork CIC

September 2024 Award

Woodswork CIC started up in 2000, and are a hands-on, pro-active not for profit organisation concerned with climate change and working with local communities to provide and protect green spaces for future generations.

Their aim is to take on projects to manage existing woodland and green spaces and also purchase land in the vicinity of Wrexham and bordering counties, to plant up with trees and hedgerows and allow to re-wild.

They manage two woodlands, one off Bersham Road, Little Vownog.

They hold relax meditation sessions in the meadow, host activities for @Dynamic, making bird boxes, work with @ysgolclywedog planting trees and Transport for Wales to build accessible pathways along with other groups such as Jobs Growth Wales and MAPS group.
With a grant from the Welsh government, in partnership with WCBC they are also planting tiny forests, one in Bro Alyn School, Gwersyllt, Wrexham.

They have funding for four tiny forests, other tiny forests are being planted in Gwenfro school and the land behind Borras Park Primary School and Ysgol Llan Y Pwll, making it accessible to both schools and the local community.

Volunteers can come and plant and become ‘tree keepers’.Their work increases biodiversity, protects wildlife and existing woodland.

It encourages volunteering and facilitates the use of green spaces with activities for the benefit of schools and communities. If you are interested in volunteering, all the details of how to, are on their website.

Amazing project!
