Capital Woodlands Project

Sensory Trust commissioned by 'Trees for Cities' to develop access reviews

The Sensory team are extremely pleased to have been asked to be part of this exciting project, which is happening across London.

The Capital Woodlands project aims to raise appreciation of London's woodlands, increase public benefit and participation and demonstrate good practice by undertaking access, biodiversity, community and training work both in six 'flagship' woodlands and across the capital through a pan-London programme.

The project is currently in its planning phase during which extensive consultation and research is being undertaken prior to the submission of a bid of just under £1 million to the Heritage Lottery Fund next year. The Sensory Trust has a key role in the project; undertaking access reviews at the six flagship sites, working closely with the Project Planning Officer, site managers and local community groups, and facilitating the preparation of access plans at each site.

The Capital Woodlands Project is the central tool for the delivery of the London Woodlands Habitat Action Plan, part of the London Biodiversity Action Plan. The project is managed by the London Biodiversity Partnership and is supported by a large range of organisations including the GLA, Forestry Commission, English Nature, Trees for Cities, London Wildlife Trust, Peabody Trust and five London Boroughs.
