TREES COULD BE RIPPED UP TO
MAKE WAY FOR NEW BY-PASS
DISCOVER OUR NE W GIF T PACKS AND
BR AND NE W WINTER ALE, NIGHT’S WATCH
Thousands of trees planted just 16
years ago are at risk of being cut down
to make way for the controversial
Hereford Western by-pass.
Visit our brewery shop in Stoke Lacy, between Hereford and Bromyard – it’s packed with
things for real-ale lovers, including bottle-conditioned beers, 36-pint polypins, branded
clothing and the coolest gifts.
We’re open 9am to 5pm on Monday to Friday, and 10am to 4pm on Saturday 2, 9, 16 and
23 December (satnav HR7 4HG). Alternatively, our online shop at wyevalleybrewery.co.uk
is open 24/7.
Drovers Wood to the east of Kings Acre
Road was a Millennium project by the
Woodland Trust funded by local sponsors
and is now well matured. But it stands smack
bang in the middle of the ‘corridor’ defined
by Herefordshire Council into which the
final route will be decided.
Nicola Geeson, a city tree warden and
campaigner told Festive News: “Drovers
Wood is at serious risk of being destroyed.”

An ancient oak stands proud at the centre
of the new Drovers Wood. But for how
long?

There are six potential routes within the
narrow corridor. Mrs Geeson has plotted
surveyors markers and says these appear to
threaten the three hectare wood and its
chances of ever becoming an ‘ancient
wood.’
Also at risk are two heritage cider apple
orchards recently planted by Gillian Bulmer
of Breinton on either side of Drovers Wood,
for which she donated the land.
