Plans to create England's largest new native forest took a major step forward last Thursday (02/10/2008) when the Woodland Trust took possession of the land on which 600,000 trees will be planted.

It immediately marked its ownership by opening six new, British-made, larch kissing gates into the site. Now, members of the public can walk miles of permissive footpaths through formerly private farmland containing pockets of ancient woodland, hosting the UKs richest wildlife habitat, near St Albans in Hertfordshire.

  • Loving it, shame the video is a tad 'long'.

  • Can you tell me how to find it, been driving around to find it but cant??

  • Yes, this is rather wonderful, indeed; and why heavens are we not doing more like this? Money, perhaps?

  • Brilliant. In our family, we used to walk the dogs around Langley Wood and Nomansland Common. My brother and I still sometimes walk through this area on the way to the pub. Although I love some of the open windswept landscape above Sandridge, nothing beats the stunning display of bluebells in Langley Wood in the spring.

    I have an interest in native woodland, and this seems like a great project, but why mo beech, and will nature be allowed to take its course in establishing natural woodland?
