Within Honeydown
Honeydown Plantation is an old oak woodland covering over 15 acres. According to historic maps, this woodland has occupied the area for at least 200 years, though it’s likely to have been home to trees for much longer. Some of the oak trees were planted to help replenish the nation’s timber stocks following the two world wars.
Now, Honeydown is no longer a commercial plantation. Our ambition is to diversify the tree species and develop a more natural woodland ecosystem. A quarter of the woodland is being allowed to rewild naturally, while the remaining area is undergoing a woodland diversification programme to ensure it becomes a vibrant habitat for wildlife and plant species for generations to come.
