Mendlesham Parish Council purchased this 12.5 acre site in
2000 with the aim of creating a wild woodland with meadowland to
provide a haven for wildlife and a leisure amenity for the local
community. It is managed by the Parish Council with the invaluable
help of a team of local volunteers.
- The area is open to the public and used on a daily
basis.
- Thousands of new trees have been planted including fruit
( apple,pear and plum), nut (Hazel, Walnut,Sweet Chestnut) and
native (Oak,Ash, Wild Cherry,Hornbeam,Field Maple,Holly,
Guelder,Small Leafed Lime, Spindle,Wayfarer and Dogwood).
- One of our volunteers has been able to grow Snakeshead
Fritillary from seed and establish a new location for the
species.
