At the weekend, along with girls & leaders from Bothenhampton Guides, Charmouth Guides & West Dorset Rangers, the Broadwindsor Guides planted over 600 trees as part of the Queens canopy, by kind permission of the landowners at Downbarn Farm in Mosterton.

This also reinstated a county boundary (Dorset/Somerset) Hedgerow that was removed by previous land owners in the 1930’s.

They first learnt about the different types of trees and the benefits of planting new trees/hedges.

They worked really well, met new friends and thoroughly enjoyed hot chocolate and cake to warm them up!

Well done to all involved!

In April, Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service asked people to refrain from having any bonfires at all whilst the Coronavirus restrictions are in place. Despite this warning, the continued irresponsible use of disposable barbecues means that fires are now going to be banned on all land owned by Bridport Town Council.
You won’t be able to use disposable BBQ’s in public parks, gardens, on beaches AND in public woodland in Bridport and West Bay.
Bridport Town Council Leader Cllr Dave Rickard said: “It is staggering that a minority have played ‘fast and loose’ with public safety and have caused us to have to implement this ban.”
The Town Council and Dorset Council bans cover all public parks, gardens, beaches, car parks in Bridport and West Bay, and most publicly accessible meadows and woodland.
There are large signs at the entrance to Lambert’s Castle but nothing as yet at Lewesdon where there has been recent evidence of bbq activity. Why, asked a village resident, if people care about the countryside enough to make the effort to visit – why mess it up?
