Ruscombe's Ponds
Ruscombe's Wildlife Ponds - October 2015
 At its meeting on 7th October Ruscombe Parish Council recorded its gratitude for the excellent pond conservation work done by CROW (Conserve Reading on Wednesdays) during August and September which included the difficult task of clearing the willow from Ruscombe Pond situated at the crossroads where Stanlake Lane meets Ruscombe Lane / Waltham Road. A similar clearance of the Castle End Road pond was carried out by the local conservation volunteers FORWOOD (Friends of Ruscombe Wood). The network of small
wildlife ponds is a fine feature of the Ruscombe landscape. The work done to
maintain them by conservation volunteers (particularly FORWOOD, all year round)
is invaluable.  |
Wokingham Remembers: Events to Commemorate WW1
 Ruscombe Parish Council is involved in a project initiated by Wokingham Town Council to commemorate the first world war centenary. The project is being funded by the National Lottery and involves a borough wide heritage trail of local war memorials. The Memorial Trail launches on the 14th September 2014, which coincides with Wokingham town's heritage day. The exhibitions banners will be available to view after that date. More details of events and the heritage trail can be found on Wokingham Town Council's website: http://www.wokingham-tc.gov.uk/heritage. A brochure with information about each war memorial has been produced and is available to view online at http://issuu.com/wokingham_tc/docs/heritage_memorial_trail_brochure_is/1. Hardcopies will be available to collect from St James Church. Below is a map showing the locations of all of the war memorials in the heritage trail.  |
