Londonthorpe

This woodland lies to the west of Londonthorpe Village.  It overlooks the Lincolnshire market town of Grantham and parkland surrounding Belton House.  The existing woodland is a mixture of sycamore, beech, oak, ash and sweet chestnut.  The new woodland area has been planted mainly with native broad-leaved species such as qak and ash, among shrubs such as hazel, hawthorn and guelder rose.  The meadows will provide an essential habitat for wild flowers, which should attract insects and butterflies to the area.

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.
