Around the Village: The Hazel Pear Wood
The Hazel Pear Wood is now open again, after being closed as a precautionary measure during the Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak. See the Woodland Trust website for details
Temporary revision December 2002
The Hazel Pear Wood is a development by the Woodland Trust, with generous financial support from Sainsbury's Homebase.
Some 4,500 trees of mixed species are being planted, and the area landscaped as a village amenity. The photo above shows the seven acre field on Station Road, Acton Bridge, before planting.
