John, Woodland Volunteer
“I enjoy working with the Land of Oak & Iron since it is a great opportunity to meet loads of new friends from a variety of backgrounds. At the same time I am out in the fresh air getting lots of physical exercise, learning new skills and helping to maintain and improve our ancient woodlands for future generations.”
