THERE will be no need to tiptoe through Warndon Woodlands once volunteers have laid the foundations for ecological pathways.

Worcester City Council's Rangers are staging another of their popular Have A Go days on Saturday to lay bark chipped paths to preserve rare bluebells in the nature reserve.

"Bluebells are rare plants that struggle to recover after being trodden on, so we're putting in these paths to ensure people don't do too much damage to them," said Richard Clarke, the ranger who will lead the session.

"This is a chance for people of all abilities, gender and age to make a difference - and to help others stride out while assisting one of our prettiest and most important plants to survive.

"Barked chipped paths are made from woodland materials, so they're a very self-sustainable way to create useful footpaths that actually look great in the woodland setting."

The event begins at 10am on the car park at Woodgreen Evangelical Church in Hastings Drive, when the Rangers will introduce the day's task. It ends at 3pm, with stops to admire the views, wildlife, lunch and tea breaks.
