🌳 When we make decisions on access, we always take the time to discuss this with different community groups.

I’m always delighted to join walks around the woodlands! 😊 A big thank you to W.A.G.S. for inviting me. 🙏

Your enthusiasm for getting outdoors and your knowledge of how access affects visitor experiences is invaluable. Thank you! 💚

One small mistake. A devastating impact. Don’t be the cause of a wildfire.⚠️

There is an exceptional risk of wildfires starting and spreading this weekend.

If you are visiting the countryside, please follow this advice to reduce the risk of harm to people and nature.

🔥 Pack a picnic, instead of a BBQ
🎒 Take your rubbish home – glass starts fires, rubbish fuels a fire
📞 If you see a fire unattended - get to a safe place and call 999.
