A new chapter in woodland creation
This year’s planting season has been a remarkable one, with more vibrant new woodland being created and another significant step taken on our journey to grow and protect a huge broadleaf forest for generations to come.
Gorcott Hill Wood gains title of Local Wildlife Site
The ancient semi-natural woodland at Gorcott Hill supports many rare plants and animals and makes a vital contribution to conserving biodiversity. Now an official LWS, under the Heart of England Forest’s care, the woodland will be conserved and protected for future generations.
The achievements and legacy of our Green Recovery project
Now completed, the project funded by the £1.7m Green Recovery Challenge Fund (GRCF) grant, has enabled us to make a step-change in our work today, whilst laying rhe foundations to grow the Forest further tomorrow.
Tree planting season has arrived
It is a busy time in the Forest as tree planting season begins. Thanks to our forestry team and volunteers, new native woodland will be created whilst we also continue to create and maintain the other extensive habitats in the Forest.
Wetlands in the Forest
Wetlands provide some of the most biodiverse habitats in the Forest, and we are working hard to create and restore these valuable habitats for wildlife.
