Sence Valley is the location for the Forestry Commission centenary woodland creation project.

102 acres of recently purchased land adjacent to the current forest will be planted in 2019/20 with a carefully selected range of coniferous and broadleaved trees.

Grassy rides and surfaced footpaths will be created, giving visitors an opportunity to explore the newly created forest. A centenary avenue of cherry trees will link into the public footpath network alongside the River Sence and newly created seasonal ponds will increase wildlife habitat.
