Riverside’s improvement plans at Ash Plantation, an ancient woodland on North Bransholme, have been given the thumbs up by residents.

Our proposals will include improvements to existing footpaths and the creation of new ones, as well as an outdoor classroom with seating for group activities. 

Fencing installations to the perimeter of the woodland are already underway, making it safer and more inviting for visitors.

Any trees that need to be felled will be replaced with mature trees.

Business Support Manager Julie Riseborough said: “We are looking forward to seeing this amazing space improved.

“We have experts on board in tree management and ecology who are providing ongoing guidance and expertise to ensure that we strike the right
balance between managing sustainability and preserving the wildlife habitat.”
