Who's Who at Ridge Wood?

Ridge Wood is owned by Hanson Aggregates and is managed by South Gloucestershire Council and the Friends of Ridge Wood. The Friends are volunteers who look after the Wood and improve it for all who go there by undertaking practical conservation action.

Thanks to these organisations and the Countryside Agency's Aggregates Levy for supporting the development of this project in cash or kind.
