Laurel's Wood

About Laurel's Wood

Laurel’s Wood is a tranquil 16 acre woodland on the fringe of Liverpool, untouched and closed to the public since it was planted in the 1990's. Overgrown and inaccessible the woodland is in need of intervention to ensure its resilience, enhance biodiversity and increase its ability to react to climate changes. The woodland, meadows and glades have potential to become a space where communities can come together to experience the wellbeing benefits of connecting with nature. Laurel's Wood CIC was established in 2022 to manage the woodland in line with a Forestry Commission approved Woodland Management Plan. The CIC aims to create an accessible woodland designed to bring communities together. Community groups, schools, families and businesses will be able to use the space for a range of activities from bushcraft, orienteering and wellness, to volunteering and longer-term career pathways into the forestry sector. The sustainable woodland space will generate income and reinvest to protect its diverse ecology and enhance the site for everyone. Values: • Justice: Ensuring our woodland and the wellbeing benefits it brings are accessible to all • Community: Our woodland is a welcoming space where everyone belongs • Making a difference: We strive to create positive change through learning, co-operation and growth • Security: Our woodland is a safe space which promotes openness and trust • Nature: Connecting with our environment with curiosity and creativity is at the heart of all we do
