Gatehouse Bank at Tom's Wood

The vision for Tom’s Wood is to create a new native woodland that supports local biodiversity and improves woodland habitat connectivity in the surrounding area.

In addition to these ecological benefits the whole woodland will also sequester over 14,000 tonnes of CO2e during it’s growing lifetime, and bind the soil beneath its canopy, protecting it from erosion during heavy rain events, which are predicated to become more frequent as the climate warms during the coming decades.
