Meeting: 20/09/2011 - Local Countryside Access Forum (Item 10)

Site Visits

Please bring ideas for future walks.

Minutes:

A joint site visit had been undertaken to Englemere Pond and Swinley Park on 3 September 2011. The purpose of the site visit was to look at the management of these two sites which were designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Englemere Pond was also managed as a SANG. Combining two visits in one go and extending the invite out to the Biodiversity Forum had worked well and there was an aim to undertake more joint site visit walks in future.

 

It was suggested that a site visit be undertaken to Swinley Forest/ Crowthorne Woods to see how nature was regenerating there after the fires. The area would be restored over the next two years and it would be good to undertake walks before and after the restoration. John Deakin offered to lead this walk.

 

Forum Members should forward ideas for future site visits to Rose Wicks rose.wicks@bracknell-forest.gov.uk .
