Bench placed in John's Memory at Duddas Wood

Duddas Wood near Derrington in Staffordshire now has a bench placed in John's memory at the spot where FoJD members planted trees on 26th November 2000. This was part of the 'Millennium Tree Planting' which aims to replant the Mercian Forest across central England. The site is a Woodland Trust property and is near to Stafford, and accessible from the M6 motorway.
