For many people, Finings Wood is a vital lifeline and important connection with nature. It is both a meeting place and a place for calm solitude, a fun place for dogs and children, and an important lynchpin of village life. Finings Wood is currently for sale.

Many of you have already donated toward the purchase of Finings Wood for the community of Lane End and we’re incredibly grateful. However, in order to access the large grants which would make the ultimate difference, we need to evidence that local people use Finings Wood and want it to be saved for future use by the village.

Please would you give us a few minutes of your time to fill out a short survey?
