On a wonderful sunny winter's day TreeBristol organised a tree planting day on Troopers Hill Field.

Friends of Troopers Hill were there to help along with a team from Sky Blue, but most of the work was done by children from three local schools - Summerhill, Air Balloon and Two Mile Hill. As well as the trees, we also planted more daffodils on the bank sloping down to the woodland.

More details on our Troopers Hill Field Page.

As well as hunt itself there were lots of craft activities under our gazebos.

The next two videos were made during 2005 and shown at our AGM

The first details a visit to an eighteenth century Bath House that is hidden in the woodland not far from Troopers Hill.

The Bath House is on private land and we are very grateful to the owners for allowing us to visit this unique part of Bristol's history.
