WOODLAND ecology is the topic of a talk organised by the Coppice Association North West to take place on Monday, April 22.

Association secretary Alan Shepley, who teaches a range of ecology-based courses at Lancaster University, will lead the event, which starts at 7pm.

People are asked to meet at the lay-by before the Sizergh Arms, on the first turn right off the A590, just west of the Brettagh roundabout.
