Please don't dump your pumpkins in the wild! 🎃

Every year, our team collects discarded pumpkins from across our reserves after Halloween. While leaving pumpkins out may seem like a kind way to feed wildlife, it can actually do more harm than good. Pumpkins aren’t naturally found in our woodlands, and while some wildlife may enjoy a tasty snack, they can make other animals, including hedgehogs, very poorly.

Want to make the most of your Halloween pumpkin? If it’s no longer suitable for eating, add it to your compost heap to provide nitrogen and moisture, or cut it into smaller pieces and bury it in your garden to enrich the soil as it breaks down. 🍂

🚗 Park Responsibly and please don't block fire hydrants 🚒

When every second counts in an emergency, fire crews need quick access to water. Parking over or too close to a fire hydrant can delay firefighters from tackling a blaze, putting lives and property at risk.

🔥 A blocked hydrant means a delayed response. Imagine if it was your home or loved ones in danger.

✅ Leave at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) clear around hydrants
✅ Never park on yellow or marked areas near hydrants
✅ Be mindful in residential areas - hydrants may be on pavements or hidden under covers

A few extra seconds to park safely could make all the difference in an emergency. Please be considerate and help keep our communities safe!

Dad Space - this Tuesday

02/11/2026

Walking, wheeling and cycling are great ways to stay active, explore your local area and enjoy time together as a family.

Whether it's a bike ride through a country park, a walk along a local trail or simply choosing to leave the car at home for shorter journeys, small changes can help build healthy habits that last beyond October.

Why not make walking, wheeling or riding part of your plans this week and see where it takes you? Just make sure to dress appropriately🌳✨
