Handy hints to help your food last longer and avoid waste from SITA UK:
1) Keep your fridge between 1-5°C and your freezer at -18°C to keep your food fresher for longer
2) Feed your freezer with food close to its use by date or leftovers to be used for another day. A full freezer works more efficiently, so you can save money on your electricity bills at the same time!
3) Keep track of your kitchen cupboards. Take note of items that need to be used first and plan your meals using these ingredients.
4) Keep potatoes in a dark, dry, cool place out of the plastic bag to make them last longer.
5) Remove pre-packed salads from their plastic packaging and place in a sealed container to help stay fresher for longer.

Filnore Woods
Filnore Woods Community Woodland provides a diverse range of habitats for wildlife, gives people a wild place to visit, and provides opportunities for education. The woods are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. To find them, cross the field at the back of the Leisure Centre, the one with the skateboard park in it. The entrance is just beyond the new allotments. Click the link below to find out more.

Friends of Filnore Woods
Keeping Filnore Woods attractive for people and for wildlife needs a lot of work. Brambles, thistles and nettles are trying to take over the site and the grass needs cutting at least once a year to retain and promote the wildflowers. We rely on volunteers to do this valuable work. If you would like to get involved you can join the emailing list by emailing below or phone Jerry Dicker on 01454 416945.
