It's great to see that Hodge Lane Nature Reserve has a website. It was my family home at No 2 ( now demolished ) from 1951 to 1964..
The pond, Freddie Morrow's grazing fields, the enormous expanse of sandy gorse ( full of linnets ) and the old tip and claypit; beyond that, the canal and the Old Line, were my childhood haunts. Sadly, few of we children of miners were very hands-on about nature conservation in those days.(Although Amington Primary did good Nature Walks. )
In fact we were a pretty destructive and gun-happy lot down that end of the village.
I have since made amends, teaching Geography, Ecology and Environmental Management at F.E in London (now retired ) and a long stint as a Task Leader for the Conservation Corps ( BTCV ) in the 60's and 70's. So the good effects of living in that marvellous, semi-rural /industrial, wild landscape has created a substantial part of my life and teaching career.
Best wishes to you and Happy Conserving!!

The sound of childrens voice is heard each Thursday as local schools send pupils to Forest Schools. Here they learn woodcraft skills and enjoy education in the great out doors. In a small way Hodge Lane offers children the opportunity to explore the wonder of nature and develop new skills in a way that is lacking in the classroom. Many thanks to Shelley for putting on this programme. :o

Great website - realy like the google earth and weather page. nice to see HLCG moving forward from hard working people coming together to now an official website full of information and displaying whats going on for the coming months to get new people involved :)

the only thing i could suggest to improve is the google search position as it would be nice to see the website at the top when i search: hodge lane
but never the less it was easy enougth to find on the first page of google.

i hope you see more signings in the guest book as the group desrve any good comments about the amazing work you all do for this area.

keep it going
