Set on the northern tip of the New Forest National Park, Tinney's Firs borders the rolling chalk downs of West Wiltshire. Small streams punctuate stands of towering mature trees that give the wood its majestic character.
When Mr. G. Mundey passed on he kindly left his house and Tinney's Firs to the Woodland Trust. The house has since been sold, providing important funds for the wood's ongoing care.
We will honour his wishes by protecting and enhancing this stunning site. Facilities have already been improved, and we are giving nature a hand, for example, by ensuring that the native trees are encouraged and the varied ground flora is not suffocated by rhododendron.
With our support, nature will do the best work herself. The old oaks already standing will become veterans, providing a home to a myriad of species that only these ageing trees can support. Some will naturally fall to the ground, punching holes in the canopy and allowing the native broadleaves to regenerate. As the wood ages, like a good wine, it will get even better.
