Phase 3 - The Ancient Woodlands

The Woodroad Park is surrounded by Ancient Woodland which is managed by East Ayrshire Woodlands in association with East Ayrshire Council. The Ancient Woodlands date back to 1743.


The group recognised almost immediately that to improve the Woodroad that all aspects had to be considered. The Woodlands Area had become a dumping ground by both young and old alike. Broken bottles were strewn and rubbish recklessly dumped in these beautiful surroundings. Once a safe habitat for small animals such as rabbits and squirrels it had become dangerous and no longer a place to enjoy.


As a group, we forged excellent relationships with East Ayrshire Woodlands and in particular Bruce Davidson who has help us build a Woodlands Fund Raising Team. By raising money and the support of BBC Breathing Places, we have seen a huge difference in the Woodlands Area.


We are extremely grateful to Bruce Davidson from East Ayrshire Woodlands for his continued support of our project and the assistance he gives us. We are continuing to actively fund raise forthe remaining woodland areas in order that these can be brought up to the same high standards.
