The steep, rooted path has been closed off for safety reasons. Please keep on the new path so the vegetation can start to recolonise the disturbed areas.
In addition to letting natural regeneration take its course, we will be sowing woodland wildflower seed which has kindly been donated by Wellington College. If the vegetation has a chance to thrive untrampled, this area will be a valuable wildlife habitat by this time next year.
Funding for this path was awarded by Involve and The National Lottery Community Fund. The Walter Recreation Ground is managed by the Walter Recreation Ground Charity.

Crowthorne Millennium Mural restoration
Community action is a core part of Wellington College’s Global Citizenship programme. Pupils are encouraged to explore and follow their passions, whilst developing Global Citizenship competencies and their own personal growth. Shreya and Amy have been doing just that by taking on a project a stone’s throw away in Crowthorne High Street. After noticing the Crowthorne Millennium Mural had weathered away, the pupils picked up their paint brushes to breathe life back into the 23 year old street art.
