Firs Wood - The Forgotten Woodland

Firs Wood is an area of forgotten, unloved woodland that is largely unknown to the local community. The woodland is hidden along Firs Way, with no obvious entrance or signage from the road so many people have never visited this green space. Our project is driven by members of this community who want to restore this forgotten woodland into a rich wildlife haven, where the local community can connect with nature on their doorstep. Our project will enhance biodiversity through varied volunteering activities and community engagement sessions with disabled people, young people and people experiencing poor mental health.
