A SECTION of dry stone wall in an ancient Keighley woodland has been restored.
A 20-metre stretch in Park Wood was rebuilt as part of a course led by Louise Kirkbride, of the Dry Stone Walling Association.
The project was organised by Friends of Park Wood, and funded by Big Local.
Twenty-six people took part.
A Friends spokesperson says: "Yorkshire is the world leader for dry stone walls, which are excellent habitats for wildlife. Insects, wrens and stoats – as well as mosses, lichens and fungi – all live on top of or inside them.
"Park Wood is one of Keighley's greatest assets, and rebuilding the wall shows the site is valued."
The Friends carry out conservation work, run nature events and hold an annual summer social, plus the group has published two booklets about the history of the woodland.
