Projects

​​Our goal is to restore this site to a complex and resilient ecosystem of native wet woodland, bringing new life to the landscape and paving the way for nature's recovery. Through careful land management and ecological planning, we aim to encourage the recovery of a diverse community of plant and animal species, returning Colwell Wood to an ecologically healthy state for future generations.​​ 

​

As a former Christmas tree plantation, Colwell Wood is dominated by non-native Norway Spruce. Over time, we will phase out the spruces and restock the woodland with a biodiverse mix of native broadleaf tree and shrub species. With ongoing surveys, we will be monitoring how habitats develop and wildlife species that inhabit the woodland change over time.
