25th Anniversary Community Picnic. Sunday 12 May

You are invited to our picnic celebrating 25 years of protecting our green spaces on Bernards Heath, Beech Bottom Dyke, and Sandridge Road. Bring your own picnic, or order a picnic selection in advance from the Little Star Cafe*. Event runs from 12 – 2pm.

Come along with family and friends to enjoy an alcohol-free picnic in front of the new playground. There will be face painting and craft activities for the kids, and visits from our local Wilderhood Watch.

*Order a picnic selection in store at the Little Star Cafe by Sunday the 5th of May, and collect from 11:30am on the day.

Bluebell season again

Those of you spending time on the Heath or in Beech Bottom Dyke will have seen the Bluebells popping up as a lovely reminder of the season. Below are a few photos to enjoy, courtesy of Mary North.

Reporting problems to the council

The Friends are happy to take questions about, and report incidents regarding, the heath, dyke and wastes to the council. Residents can now also report incidents directly to the council when logged ino the their account on the SADC website.

FoBH chair, David Pearce, noted that this is a useful tool as “local can check to see whether the incident has already been reported by someone else or to obtain an update”.
