About Walk Wood
A natural woodland in the magnificent Chilterns AONB
Our priority is to sustain the biodiversity and resilience of our wood and the wildlife it is home to, and preserve it for future generations.
Hear Lara talk about our project here.
We are working to encourage the regeneration of this ancient woodland, provide new habitats and improve climate change resilience.
Our 10 year management plan was approved by the Forestry Commission. We also thank the Woodland Trust and Royal Forestry Society for their support, as well as the volunteers who regularly help us, from tree planting and maintenance to wild life surveying.
Walk Wood is private land.
A public bridleway and bicycle route runs along the Southern edge, and we registered a permissive footpath along Stony Lane,
to allow pedestrians to pass safely off the road. Visitors are welcome on these.
To keep our wood wildlife-friendly and encourage regeneration,
we request that visitors stay on the paths at all times,
and dogs be kept on leads between March 1st and July 31st, as per the Countryside Code.
VOLUNTEER and LEARN WITH US
THANK YOU to the wonderful volunteers who helped us plant 500 saplings, and build and maintain dead hedges for wildlife.
We already start to see the benefits in terms of regeneration and birds presence.
upcoming volunteer days :
November 30th, 2024 (TBC)
February 28th, 2025 (TBC)
We will be working on dead hedges and on biodiversity.
Great opportunity also to learn more about forest conservation.
Please contact us to participate.
Thank you in advance!!
And thank you also WoodsmanKent and Bucks Owl & Raptor Group for your partnership and support.
ENJOY NATURE
We believe that spending time outside is essential for physical and mental health, and we want to help people connect with nature.
Our educational and recreation activities - within the 28 days limit for woodland in the UK - include woodland education, wild camping and forest bathing experiences.
We are also available for small group family and team offsites, and as a filming location.
And we offer the opportunity to dedicate a tree to the memory or a loved one or mark a special occasion.
Please contact us for details and dates.
And thank you AdventureClinic for the excellent ongoing partnership.
