There are still a few places available for the SWOG meeting in Bill and Shan Rigby’s wood in North Yorkshire, 28 February 2015, 10am-1pm .

Relative newcomers to the world of woodland ownership, Bill and Shan own a 5-acre wood just 20 miles from York. They’re keen to chat to fellow SWOG members and to discuss their plans for their wood. The meeting will consist of a walk and talk through their woodland, which is mainly a mixture of beech and pine, and is home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna. We are also hoping to have a talk about PAWS restoration.

The woodland floor is relatively flat and easy to walk across. Vehicular access is more limited, so we suggest meeting at a local pub and car-sharing the remaining couple of miles to the wood. The Old Black Bull in Raskelf offers a hearty lunch menu and looks like a good venue to warm up and refuel after the meeting. This promises to be a really fun event – and one of the first for some time in the north!
