East Dundry

Situated on hills overlooking Bristol, the site is a mosaic of well hedged pasture fields, some parts of which have been recently planted with trees.  There is also existing woodland, a meadow, springs, streams and adjacent wet areas.  Planting to create a broad-leaved high forest of oak, ash and a range of smaller trees and shrubs began in 1996.  Part of the site will be managed as a meadow by hay cutting.  Hedgerows, neutral grassland and damp neutral grassland will be maintained.

The Woodland Trust

Since the 1930's the UK has lost over 50% of its ancient woodland, our rarest and most precious habitat, and is one of the least wooded countries in Europe.

The Trust, started in 1972, now protects and cares for more than 1,100 woods across the UK and also creates new woodland, currently planting approximately a million trees a year for people and wildlife.  It is now the UK's leading woodland conservation charity with over 300,000 members and supporters.  Trees and forests are crucial to life on our planet as they generate oxygen, play host to a spectacular variety of wildlife and offer us tranquil places to visit and refresh our souls.
