Forestry England are creating a new Coronation Wood at East Worth, in Devon, to commemorate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The 29.8 hectare woodland is near the village of Northlew. The woodland will be open for informal public access for local people to enjoy alongside thriving wildlife and sustainably-grown timber.
Work in progress at East Worth
The new woodland will be a valuable place for timber, wildlife and local communities. The land will be planted with tree species chosen to match local soil types and expected future climate conditions. The landscape design will aim to improve the site for nature conservation.
We are creating detailed plans for the new woodland. The woodland at East Worth will be an important part of the work that Forestry England are doing to expand the nation’s forests as part of the Nature for Climate Fund.
East Worth public consultation
We invite you to comment on our draft design proposals for the new woodland. You can comment online until Sunday 15 September. We will be holding a public drop-in event in September - find out more on our consultation page.
