Jo works to promote and preserve Nottinghamshire's great forests and is passionate about our natural heritage. "- The footpath leading out of Retford towards Grove across the fields .... fantastic hedgerows that in spring are bursting with blackthorn blossom, swallows soaring and swooping across the fields in summer, blackberries and sloes in autumn and glorious sunsets over Retford from the top of Castle Hill. - Rufford Park in the early evening when everyone else has gone home ... especially on a crisp snowy, winter's evening. - Retford Market on a Saturday - wonderful cheese and olive stall, fish stalls, fruit & veg and lots of great tea shops nearby. - Walking in any of our wonderful woodlands, but particularly Gamston Wood for a profusion of spring flowers and the Birklands for stunning twisted and gnarled oak trees."
