National builders merchant UGS has opened a new outlet in Newcastle on Tyne, its first in the North East.
The local community group, based within the Coxmoor Estate, has been working with the Forestry Commission, the Coxmoor Community Centre, local police and Ashfield District Council to improve local woodland at Woodland Walk and Richmond Road.
Two litter clearance sessions have been held with local volunteers and the local youth group has been building bird boxes for use in the woods.
