Welcome to the Friends of Selsdon Wood (FSW) JustGiving page. Many of you will have seen the wonderful carvings by Alasdair Craig of Essex Chainsaw Carving of Owls and the Green Man that have appeared in our wood during Spring 2024.

The legend of the Green Man can be found on Wikipedia and you can see details of all our work on our Facebook pages and our website https://www.friendsofselsdonwood.co.uk

The FSW have commissioned Alasdair to carve more sylvan scenes on old tree stumps throughout Selsdon Wood. At least one more carving is due to appear quite soon and others are currently planned. We hope eventually to have enough carvings to make a trail for our visitors to follow to find them all.

If you would like to help these plans along, please make a donation: each costs a minimum of £600 for the carving plus about £75 for the special natural preservative. The more you give, the more carvings we can commission to make our wood even lovelier and more interesting to those who do not come especially for the birds, flora and fauna.

Our original target was achieved in a little over a month! We have been delighted by everyone's generosity in getting there so quickly. When will we be able to afford more? Keep a watch on this page to see the total grow and on our website and Facebook pages for all FSW news and information about the wood.
