We're pleased to be expertly creating a new woodland on land at Hoarthorns Farm, next to our existing woodlands at Ninewells, Berry Hill near Coleford in the Forest of Dean.
Once planted, the new 88 hectare woodland will be one of the most significant extensions to woodland in the Forest of Dean in over 200 years. The woodland at Hoarthorns Farm will become a valuable habitat for wildlife, produce sustainable timber for a greener economy and be a new space for people to explore and enjoy.
This new woodland is one of many we're creating around the country to grow the nation's forests, supporting Government targets for increasing tree planting across the UK.
Hoarthorns public consultation
In spring 2025 we shared draft designs for the new woodland and invited feedback from local people. You can see the feedback here.
We will post key updates on this webpage as the project progresses.
