“I joined BCA because they are a group of committed experts who work tirelessly to conserve and protect what is most important to me: local woodland, natural habitat and wildlife. As a member, I get to attend free talks on fascinating subjects, or guided walks through Grin Low Woods. I also like to visit the café at Poole’s Cavern to read my book over a coffee and have a look at the merchandise in the shop.”
Sue W, BCA Member since 2023
“We regularly walk our two dogs, Henry and Rosie, in Grin Low Woods. It’s a truly special place. As members of BCA, we are both so appreciative of all the behind the scenes work that goes on to care for and to maintain such a wonderful woodland for both the people of Buxton, as well as visitors from further afield, to enjoy.”
Mike & Julie, BCA Members
