An ancient 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.
We are working to encourage the regeneration of this ancient woodland, provide new habitats and improve long term 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
VOLUNTEER and PARTNER with us
THANK YOU to the wonderful volunteers who help us care for our wood and its diverse life.
Just in 2025, to date we already planted 60 saplings, cared about tree health and added raptor bird and bat boxes.
Big thank you Chilterns National Landscape, Bucks Owl & Raptor Group, Chiltern Rangers and WoodsmanKent for your partnership and support!
We are halting our larger volunteer days for nesting season,
though we're always open to new partnerships.
Contact us to discuss a new idea, question or suggestion.
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 in memory of a loved one or to mark a special occasion.
Contact us for details and dates.
And thank you AdventureClinic for the excellent ongoing partnership.
Attention - deer management in progress
Deer management is a difficult decision.
However, while work on other non-lethal methods such as deer fencing, we decided to follow the Forestry Commission's advice and reduce grazing pressure in our wood. This will allow natural regeneration to thrive, in turn supporting long term biodiversity.
The work is carried on professionally.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, STAY ON THE PUBLIC FOOTPATHS
