Paradise Wood
Paradise Wood is a new woodland being created on the Northmoor Trust's estate. The name for the woodland was adopted from a medieval field 'Paradise', sited at the centre of the new woodland.
The first trees were planted in the winter of 1992 and to date 50,000 trees have been planted across 25 ha, receiving full grant aid under the Woodland Grants Scheme (WGS) and Farm Woodland Premium Scheme (FWPS). Unplanted areas on the site continue under a commercial arable-cropping regime until selected for tree planting. The completed woodland will cover 45 to 50 ha and will be composed of 75% broadleaves, 10% conifers, 5% coppice and 10% open ground.
