On this day in 2016, significant improvements were completed at Bentsley Spinney in Marshalswick, St Albans, following a £15,000 revamp.
The woodland area saw the installation of new bird and bat boxes, alongside an interpretation panel highlighting its main features.
The unveiling was conducted by councillor Salih Gaygusuz, who expressed his admiration for the enhancements made to the site.
At the time, he said: "I am hugely impressed with the improvements made to Bentsley Spinney and would urge people to come and have a look to see for themselves.
"It is wonderful that people gave up their time to volunteer and help the professionals deliver this marvellous project."

The project was funded by the Tarmac Company through the Landfill Communities Fund, with additional contributions from Sandridge parish council and county councillor Geoff Churchard’s locality budget.
The Countryside Management Service (CMS) organised the project in partnership with St Albans council, the owners of the site.
Other improvements included better access to the area, new entrance signs, and the planting of native trees and shrubs.
