A day of fun for all the family and a spring in your step is promised on Sunday, April 26 during a specially organised Spring stroll through Upper Norwood's Biggin Wood.

Following the success of last year's Summer Woodland Walk the wood's Community Group has arranged a bigger and better event this time around.

The guided walk will coincide with the action for Biggin Wood Work Day and an Easter Egg Hunt for the children.

The work day has been arranged for 12.30pm and will see a litter clearance in support of Spring Clean Month while local green expert David Lloyd will lead the guided walk and present a talk about the woodland's flora and fauna.

Biggin Wood, a mainly deciduous woodland, is one of nine remaining remnants of the Great North Wood.

The small ancient woodland once covered most of the higher ground in the area.

Everyone is welcome to come along and find more about the wood's glorious past and enjoy the land as it is today.

The group will be meeting at the entrance to the tennis courts, off Biggin Hill at 12.30pm for the litter clearance and treasure hunt and again at 2pm for the walk.

For further information about the day or the group's other activities, readers are invited to contact Mike Bartlett on 0181 679 9754.
