Bluebell Fest!
10th May 2025 Coppice Collective CIC joined with the Woodland Trooper division woodland group to run a celebration of Bluebells in YBS woods in BD5 (accessed via Fellside close or across the green on Parkway). We made Bluebells, ate blue fudge (Bilberry flavour), played bluebell themed games and enjoyed being in the beautiful bluebell woods. More photos can be found on our Instagram page. We plan to be back again next year!
