Access is possible for those with mobility restrictions – we have installed a handrail and made the path ‘zig-zag’ through the woods to try and mitigate the steepness as much as possible. There is also a bench half way up the slope by the Railway Wagon to pause on your way around and another at the top of the slope by the climbing frame. Special access by car can be arranged by special request.Once at the top of the slope, the path is wide and flat all the way around the woods.As this is a Youth Committee event, the event is only open to 18–30-year-olds who live, work or study in Warwickshire, Coventry or Solihull.If you have any additional requirements or further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch by emailing Youth.Biodiversity@wkwt.org.ukFor more information on our data retention policy: https://www.warwickshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/data-retention-policyFor more information on our privacy policy: https://www.warwickshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/privacyLocationFoundry Wood, Princes Drive, Leamington Spa.Agenda12:00 - Arrival12:10 - Intro to the GenWild Committee12:15 - Health and safety talk12:25 - Practical work walkthrough12:35 - Practical work13:15 - Tea and biscuits break!13:30 - Practical work14:00 - FinishFAQsMore about the woodsThe woods is located next to the trainline, so it can be loud when the train passes by.
