Stanton Woodland & Wildlife Action Group
Annual report from the Chair, year ending June 2025
Aubrey Warren
Swwag have had another successful year of fund-raising and management of Sid’s Piece.
Our only fund-raising event was the annual Plants and Crafts Fair at Wyken Hall. Once again we were grateful to the Carlisles for allowing us to stage the event at Wyken. Woosters Bakery also opened their recent shop for serving hot drinks and cookies. We were also grateful for the additional volunteers who helped on the day.
Sid’s Piece continues to be well managed by a small band of volunteers, plus annual professional coppicing from Simon Riggall, which is paid for from our funds. The monthly work parties took place from the autumn through to late spring, and we’re grateful to Roger Cheason for the mowing carried out. The spring has seen a good amount of birdlife including Chiffchaff, Woodpeckers and Blackcaps.
