How You Can Help

Do your bit!

Even if you don’t wish to get involved in a 'hands-on' way...
Litter is unpleasant and can easily trap wildlife – please take it home with you. Waste and litter is a problem at Ridge Wood. It is also a criminal offence carrying fines of up to Ł20,000 or imprisonment. Dog mess is also a problem and carries large fines. To report tipping or to have bulky items collected for free simply ring the Council: 01454 868000. Please also remember to:

Keep garden waste out of the Wood. It rots and encourages rampant plants to smother wildflowers
Use the appropriate bins for dog mess
Guard against risk of fire
Keep dogs under proper control
Avoid damaging fences, hedges and walls.

Please report any other problems to South Gloucestershire Council: 01454 868000.
Thank you.
