Welcome to Brandy Hole Copse!

(This webpage was first published on 29th September 2024.)

Page under development ...

Following a Committee Meeting on Friday 27th September 2024, the Friends of Brandy Hole Copse plan to curate a Welcome page for visitors to the Copse - folk who use/enjoy the Copse and may wish to support it, but who may not be aware we exist!

Please bear with us, whilst we work on this - as ever, it is down to volunteer time.

In the meantime, for latest news and essential information, visit our Home page. If you're inspired to volunteer, there are information and forms here. We would love to include more information about Copse wildlife on this fledgling webpage too.

However you interact with the Copse, we hope you agree that it having a Friends' organisation is useful. We can trace our history back to about 1989 and count the Copse's designation as a Local Nature Reserve as one of our successes, but the need for folk to take an interest in the Copse and its wildlife persists, and for all of us to advocate for, and encourage, its care as challenges evolve. The life of a pond or woodland never stands still! And there are so many ways that visitors to the Copse can help.

As we start a new phase of outreach, hoping to build up a new volunteer and support base on the foundations laid by earlier generations no longer able to play an active role, we very much hope that you will join us. Find our online Membership Form below.
