We're creating a new Coronation Wood at Quoditch, in Devon, to commemorate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The 56-hectare woodland is close to Halwill Junction near the village of Ashwater. The woodland will be open for informal public access for local people to enjoy alongside being a thriving home for wildlife and a site for sustainably-grown timber.
Work in progress at Quoditch
The new woodland is a valuable place for timber, wildlife, and local communities. The land has been planted with tree species chosen to match local soil types and expected future climate conditions. The landscape design aims to improve the site for nature conservation.
The woodland at Quoditch is an important part of the work that we're doing at Forestry England to expand the nation’s forests, and is being created through the Nature for Climate Fund.
You can see the final designs of the woodland, along with feedback, here.
Fencing and planting of the new woodland was completed in spring 2025, and we will continue to manage the site as these young trees grow.
