Filey Town council is backing a plan to improve access to the town's Parish Wood.
Councillors have voted to support the creation of a footpath to enable access for all users when current routes are too muddy.
Councillor Linda Randall says there's a lot of public interest in the issue.
Town Councillors have voted to back a proposal to create a new surfaced path alongside an existing mud track.
Karen Hubbard says it will enable more people to access the woods.
The Parish Wood is located on the North side of Filey, at the rear of Sycamore Avenue.
The community woodland was created by Filey Bird Observatory Group in 1996 on land leased from Filey Town Council. Over 3000 trees of eight species were planted by local volunteers and paths were provided through the eastern (public) part of the wood. The western sector is fenced off as a sanctuary area and is used as a ringing station by the East Yorkshire Ringing Group.
Filey Bird Observatory Group continue to maintain this habitat for birds and wildlife.
