About this wood

Sledge Wood forms part of the Woodland Trust's 'Woods on Your Doorstep' project, which is supported by the Millennium Commission and which has created 200 new community woods within walking distance of towns and villages. This new woodland is located to the east of Hartshorne Road, at the southern end of Repton village, bounded on the southern end by Robins Cross Lane. The woodland will become an amenity primarily for the residents of Repton, but as it is linked directly to the public footpath network, visitors from further a field can also be expected.

Spot species

Hunt for ancient trees

Record seasonal signs

Record seasonal signs to help us monitor and measure changes in climate over time with Nature's Calendar or Nature Detectives for younger people.

Take pictures

Our woods are great places to take pictures. And if you take great pictures of places, why not send them into us? We're always looking for new images of our woods. You might even like to join our voluntary photographers' scheme.

We've produced a range of fun-filled, inspirational activities, such as identification sheets, that you can use to entertain all the family while visiting our woods.
