About this wood

Gault Wood was planted on an arable field between December 1994 and February 1996 entirely by volunteers, (The friends of Gault Wood) as part of the Cambridgeshire Woodland Fund project. Within the planting there is an artificial badger set which was constructed using the spoil from the new pond that was dug in 1995 (as yet only inhabited by rabbits!), this pond has proved to be a significant habitat for local wildlife with water vole being recorded in residence since 2001. Another, larger, pond was dug in 2004 as the original pond was prone to excessive drying out.
