Members' Photo Gallery

Members of the Society are invited to send up to four photographs taken in Norsey Wood for inclusion in this new gallery to norsey1@hotmail.co.uk. Please indicate how you would like to be designated - we don't publish surnames. We may need to resize photos.

Visitors will have noticed that some trees in the area close to the Centre and near main paths have been lopped or felled. This is in the interest of safety. Please keep children and dogs well clear of any such activity in the future.

If you notice any tree or branch near a path that looks dangerous or has fallen across a path, please inform the Warden at the Centre or on 01277 624553. Thank you!
