At Bear Wood, 1,300 trees have been planted across a 7.3 acre (2.98 hectares) site designed to extend an ancient semi-natural woodland and also provide added community benefits with a new, five-mile permissive path. Traditional species (hazel, oak, wild cherry, lime) will be used to increase woodland cover, while the grazing animals and the development of a wood pasture system aims to increase biodiversity.
Together these three planting sites will help create places across the Kingston Lacy estate for people and wildlife to enjoy for years to come.
