Teucheen Wood has now officially re-opened, following its closure due to damage from Storm Éowyn. Fallen trees blocking paths have been cleared and a visual tree assessment has been carried out along the woodland’s paths and boundaries. Over the weekend, our Friends of Teucheen Wood volunteers were hard at work on path maintenance, making good use of the woodchip from storm damaged trees to improve muddy areas. As we enter the wildlife breeding season (March - July), we’ve re

A big thank you to our Friends of Teucheen Wood for their hard work in the woodland on Saturday! They spent the morning clearing debris created by last month’s Storm Éowyn and tackling fallen limbs blocking entrances and paths. Their work helped kickstart efforts to restore woodland access ahead of more extensive works by our tree surgeon in the coming weeks. We will provide a further update on the woodland once full, proper access is restored.

It’s #VolunteersWeek and #WorldEnvironmentDay, which gives the Trust a perfect opportunity to say a huge thank you to our dedicated volunteers who support our projects across Inchinnan! From our Friends of Teucheen Wood, who support the management of our community woodland, to our volunteers helping to develop a new communal greenspace at India Tyres Playing Fields - we are incredibly grateful for your support and commitment to the Trust and the communities we serve. Your har

Following work to plant up a hedgerow along Teucheen Wood’s entrance path in February, volunteers have now started on the creation of a wildflower verge. Over the past few weekends, they have been hard at work doing the necessary ground preparation to sow a native mix of wildflower seeds and grasses. Once established, the verge will provide a vibrant habitat and vital food source for local insects (in particular, pollinators like bees and butterflies), birds, and small mammal

Members of our local and wider communities joined forces earlier in the month to plant a row of native hedgerow species as part of efforts to improve habitat connectivity and availability across Inchinnan. Armed with spades and saplings, volunteers planted up over 100-metres of double hedge on the day - comprising of a mix of native hedgerow species including hawthorn, blackthorn, field maple, alder, bird cherry, hazel, dog rose and elder. As these saplings mature, they will

Our Friends of Teucheen Wood were out over the weekend clearing decades of fly-tipped rubbish which have been removed from the woodland during our volunteer sessions. A big thank you to WRC Recycling for kindly donating one of their rubbish skip to help with the clean-up and for their continued support of our volunteer’s hard work! Removed materials will now be responsibly disposed of - making Teucheen Wood a cleaner and safer place for local residents and wildlife

Our Friends of Teucheen Wood were hard at work again last weekend! Most of the day was spent raking and cutting the overgrown verges of our woodland entrance path (pictured during summer and after their work this weekend). While elsewhere in the woodland, they were busy repurposing deadwood logs as path borders to better define our main path network and help to keep visitors on the right track. Thanks to our volunteers for their continued hard work in Teucheen Wood!
