Map Making

I really enjoyed drawing a map showing all the different features which could be created along what has become known as the wheelchair path. Each place coloured red indicates something to look at or engage with.


A map showing ideas for a woodland trail. I never fully realised how much
information and endeavour could be contained in a little diagram?

Accompanied with this map is a visual document showing drawings and  photos indicating what things may look like and a task list with an estimate of how long they may take to make and how much they may cost. It might be a report but one with lots of pictures! I expect new ideas will be put in and some taken out. But the document should make things clear for further fund raising.



I have uploaded a few drawings showing some of the suggested features.


An entrance feature using two pine trees which have grown with naturally curved trunks


seating with  engravings showing whats in the woods along the edges

A maze created by weaving together shoots growing from willow tree stumps.
