Shepherds Cot Trust – Space to Play
Summer 2024
TREE WORKS ON SCT SITE
Summer is a comin’ in! So after many wet days we wish all clubs, students and general public who use our special green site a safe and enjoyable time.
Sustainability and the Cot
Shepherds Cot Trust continues to support Sustainability in a number of areas. We ask everyone to actively support us even in very small ways. Please try to avoid the use of plastics on site which we see littering the Cot.
Please also avoid using your combustion engine if walking, cycling or your electric vehicle is a realistic alternative. As our weather changes and rain and wind increases, take care as you walk around the Cot.
We regularly check trees for health, but in stormy weather anything is possible… the summers can also be hot and bring out the insects that bite. So we advise that you have sun cream at the ready and bite cream too!
Oh and also look out for those flying missiles – CRICKET BALLS!!
Dogs on leads
A big thank you to all who follow our painted important messages on the road: 5MPH and DOGS ON LEADS.
These messages are not ‘kill joys’, but reinforcing our rules of many decades to keep you, your children, your dogs and everyone – safe – so joys may live!
Dogs can of course roam freely in the CREOS Woodland Walks just next to us.
Please check signage for all information about the site.
Entrance gate locking
Park Road and Montenotte Road gates are locked each night. Please ensure vehicles are offsite.
The Trust thanks all in the community who help maintain the safety and beauty of this unique area including CREOS and the local Police.

Chairman, Shepherds Cot Trust
