Greendale Wood

This is one of The Woodland Trust's 'Woods on Your Doorstep' woodlands planted to commemorate the Millennium. The original woodland was planted in the year 2000 and a small extension of just over 1 hectare was added in 2009. Local people were involved in both the design of the woodland via public consultation and were also involved in helping to plant the woodland via public tree planting days. The young woodland lies on either side of a small valley with the Grindleton Brook flowing through the middle. It features mixed broadleaf woodland and a path of damson trees the damson reflect a bygone industry as the village of Grindleton was once home to a jam making factory.
