    VOLUNTEERS HEDGE THEIR BETS!

    Volunteers from Wild Maidenhead and the Friends of Ray Mill Island teamed up last weekend as part of a plan to help improve biodiversity at the much-loved riverside park, next to Boulters Lock in Maidenhead. The volunteers constructed a ‘dry hedge’ around a large beech tree stump, protecting an area of natural riverside vegetation from grazing geese to allow it to regenerate. Fungi and insects will colonise the tree stump as it decays, in turn attracting birds such as woodpeckers.

    A double row of posts was hammered in around the site, with loose branches then used... Continue reading

    Getting Switched on...slowly!

    by ClewerandDedworthTogether, 6 months ago
    We were very excited by our project and soon after the funding was awarded we signed up to the Digital Champion Network.


    Unfortunately, progress has been hampered by delays in getting the infrastructure up and running in the cafe. We have been beset by problems getting the wifi installed and working- even getting a phone line in proved difficult.


    Our priority now is to get the refurbished technoliogy installed in Woodys, so that people can start using it.

    We are also starting to recruit digital champions and would welcome applications from anyone who'd like to do the free training and... Continue reading

    Oaken Grove Park - New Community Orchard!!

    by Dave Duncan, 6 months ago
    On Saturday 25th May 2024 a small group of volunteers from The Friends of Oaken Grove Park and Wild Maidenhead planted 10 apple trees that had been donated by Thatchers Cider. They were planted in two rows of 5 towards the south of the park in the wild area. The trees are of five varieties (Scrumptious, Katy, Red Windsor, Queen Cox and Bramley) a mixture of eaters and cookers and all good for making cider! They will make a lovely addition to the park and as they mature they'll provide good habitat for lots of wildlife and some lovely apples... Continue reading
