AINSLIE & LARKS WOODS
|
Ainslie Wood and Larks Wood are situated in Chingford, London, E.4. in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Larks Wood is the larger of the two woods. It covers two adjacent hills and there are some clearly defined paths.
The Friends Group (FOAL) was formed in December 2004 and meets the second Sunday of each month at 11.00 a.m. at either the entrance to Ainslie Wood (at the end of Ropers Avenue) or Larkswood Recreation Ground (Normanshire Drive entrance), dependent on the work assignment (see events section for these and additional activities). Ainslie Wood was privately owned until fairly recently and not accessible to the public until the London Borough of Waltham Forest became responsible for its preservation. Small as it is, it has some very interesting and rare flora and no doubt due to its isolation for so long, a range of wildlife not often found in such an urban setting. NEW MEMBERS ARE VERY WELCOME. |
