Our February meeting took place on the 15 February when Anne Mason of the Friends of Thetford Forest came and gave us an illustrated talk about the timber of the forest, its wildlife, heritage, and recreation associated with the forest. She told us of the types of timber planted in the forest and its management of replacing new trees. How it managed and encouraged wildlife to live within the forest. She went on to explain how the forest came to be with the formation of The Forestry Commission, and the public access along with it recreation site and activities that take place within in the forest. We are hoping to arrange an early evening visit to the visitor’s centre along with a walk in July, more details to follow.
