Hartest Wood

This 1.21 hectare Woods on your Doorstep site was planted up as a native broadleaved woodland in December 1999 by local villagers and schoolchildren, with the support of The Greenlight Trust. From the outset the project has largely been community-led with locals finding the site, fundraising, designing, planting and taking on the ongoing maintenance of the wood. Prior to Trust ownership, the field which slopes gently towards the east, affording good views over the village and surrounding countryside, was a meadow used for horse grazing.
