Fantastic Fourth Annual Award for Lavenham Woodland Project
🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Lavenham’s Dyehouse Field Wood has won its fourth coveted Green Flag Community Award in four years.
The honour recognises well-managed eco spaces throughout Britain and the world.
The Green Flag Community Award was one of only 22 handed out in the East of England this year by the Keep Britain Tidy environmental charity.
Judges gave their verdict after making an unannounced visit to the wood – planted by families in the Suffolk village 22 years ago and managed by Lavenham Woodland Project.
The judges hailed it as “a fantastic testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of the team who care for this green space, ensuring it is maintained to a high standard for visitors and residents to enjoy”.

They added: “Dyehouse Field Wood has shown what can be achieved when wooded areas are properly supported and managed. We want every community to have access to green spaces like this that are safe, welcoming and maintained to a high standard.

"Congratulations to everyone involved."

At the working party yesterday, our volunteers created a new path in the upper woodland and planted some snowdrops under the sign near the steps, for the community to enjoy! 🌱🌿💚

☀️ What a beautiful, sunny morning for the monthly working party! ☀️
The team have been working hard on spreading wood chippings from the top gate along the main path, along the hill. Many, many wheelbarrow loads making their way UPHILL. And many, many rosey cheeks! A little bit of tree identification and home for a well earned rest.
Come and join us next time! It’s great for your physical and mental health and there are tasks suitable for all. You don’t need to be an expert. We are all enjoying learning all the time 💚
