The Trust and Its Aims

In January 2008, we became a Charitable Trust with the objective of applying our funds to further the following aim:

“To conserve, restore and re-establish native trees, plants, and all types of wildlife by provision of a community woodland area in Tarvin for the benefit of the public at large and with a view to improving the quality of life.”

To this end, the Woodland Trust has a plan to support, protect, and celebrate the natural habitats in our local community. This will enable the already created area to be properly maintained and, more importantly, to be improved and developed further. The Trust manages a 13-acre / 5-hectare piece of land, which is about 1 kilometre long—long and narrow. It was left as a screened open space after the construction of the Tarvin south-western bypass in 1987 and sits between the road and existing housing (and the school, which has direct access via a gate). A bridleway runs along the “road” boundary.
