Waingroves Community Woodland Trust purchased 12.75 acres of local woodland after a public meeting was held in Oct 2010 stating the woods were up for sale and could become development land. Around 140 villagers and village groups donated £20,000 to save the woods. After a lengthy sales process we finally got the deeds for the land in June 2011. Now the woods are managed by a group of local volunteers elected from all those who donated. The committee has successfully bid for and received funding from such organisations as the Big Lottery to create a community glade for holding village events and meeting people. The woods are located on the site of an old pit. We aim to conserve and promote wildlife while improving usability for local people and schools.
