NEW PATH FOR CLOWES WOOD

A 15 strong team from HSBC’s Solihull Commercial Centre took a day away from lending money to lending support to build a new path at Clowes Wood Site of Special Scientific Interest, Earlswood, to support Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.

The HSBC task force excavated a footpath through Clowes wood moving many tonnes of stone and holly branches for the path as well as creating an oak bench from timber felled as part of a woodland management  scheme.

Eddie Asbery , Woodland Project Officer from Warwickshire Wildlife Trust said

This work has improved  access along previously difficult and muddy paths in Clowes Wood. The use of recycled  material created through our woodland management and natural stone means the path and bench are very environmentally friendly as well as allowing a section of this popular woodland to be fully accessible all year round. We are grateful to HSBC for funding this project.

Nick Henman, Head of Solihull Commercial Centre said

Taking time to give something back to the local community we work in is very important to me and I hope all the visitors will now enjoy the beautiful wood. I hope our work will aid Warwickshire Wildlife Trust in maintaining this local woodland.
