Quakers Coppice, a fantastic woodland on the outskirts of Crewe which is much-loved by walkers and wildlife alike, has now been improved thanks to funding from Waste Recycling Group Ltd (distributed by WREN).
A new 1.5km path takes walkers on a circuit of the woodland which was previously inaccessible to buggies and wheelchairs, and is now an ideal route for workers on the nearby Crewe Business Park, as they will be able to do the walk without getting their shoes muddy! This is also beneficial to the wildlife, because by encouraging walkers to use one main route, the rest of the Coppice will no longer be trampled and ground-level vegetation will have the chance to grow back - providing food and shelter for all sorts of bugs, birds and small mammals.
As well as the path, we've been able to create a new pond dipping platform, plant a native hedgerow and sow a wildflower meadow.Quakers Coppice can be found here - park on Mallard Way and follow the footpath that starts just after the Fujitsu building.
It's great to see Quaker's welcoming more people. There is a loyal dog-walking community who use the coppice daily, but we'd like to see a wider range of visitors. Next step, getting a volunteer programme up and running...

Going outdoor is great thing to do. Aside from the fresh air that we can get, we can have a moderate exercise. It is important that we have time to go outdoor in order to have a healthy lifestyle. I have to say that going to the woods is a great alternative.

And I would surely love to go for a walk in this naturally beautiful space to walk through. I can imagine how fresh and refreshing the feeling would be walking in that pretty inviting woodland.

It's a lot more important to take an outdoor activity sometimes, and I would say that walking is surely one great way to do that, aside from doing the exercise and helping out the body burn excessive fats and toxins, we will be able to get fresh air and refresh our minds, especially if we go somewhere like this, woodland.

I had got a desire to make my company, but I did not have enough of cash to do it. Thank goodness my close mate suggested to use the business loans. So I used the financial loan and realized my dream.
