Friends of St Leonard’s Forest © 2010 All Rights Reserved
The Friends of St Leonard’s Forest is a group of volunteers working to restore and better manage the heathland in the forest. We meet only once a month, on a Sunday, but usually carry out plenty of work in that time.
We also believe that the moderate exercise, outdoors, helps us physically and mentally.
