All four new benches are now fully installed across our beautiful nature reserve — and don’t they look fantastic! Huge thanks to Woody (Hyndburn CIC) for making them look so splendid in their new spots, ready for everyone to enjoy the views, rest, chat and soak up the environment 💚

We’re also incredibly grateful to Groundwork’s Grassroots Grants and the Prospects Foundation Windfall Fund for funding these improvements. Your support helps us keep enhancing this special place.

✨ Plaques will be added soon to acknowledge the support behind each bench.

The Friends of Arden Hall & The Coppice will continue working hard to improve and protect our local nature reserve — through funding bids, hands‑on activities and spreading positive environmental vibes.

🌱 New followers and volunteers are always welcome! Come and be part of something green and good.
