It is intended to keep this page up to date with news about the woodland, the work program and any other relevant issues.
Coppicing
Over the next few months a local coppice worker will be cutting the area of coppice at the the western end of the metal fenced area. We ask you to let his work proceed without hindrance as it is being used as an educational project in conjunction with the Green Wood Trust as part of their "A Week in the Woods in Hampshire". further information will be posted around the woods as soon as possible.

Work in the woods
Work has started to replace the derelict fence between Bluebell Wood and Hyden wood this will involve the removal of some trees, it will also be used as an opportunity to let a little light into the Hyden lane foot path which we hope will both allow plants to grow and dry the path out a little. For more information on this and other wood being carried out in the next 12 months please look at the woodland management page.
