Brief description

"Originally managed by the Forestry Commission, Long Wood was purchased on behalf of the community using a grant from the National Lottery Community Asset Transfer Fund. The funding also paid for some revenue costs whilst the Long Wood project experimented with different potential revenue streams, Now out of the funded period, Long Wood Community Woodland continues to provide recreational facilities for the community as well as develop natural broadleaved cover and the thriving ecosystems that this will provide.  The commercial activities at Long wood allow further development of these ecosystems including the addition of ponds and wetland habitats to increase the biodiversity on site and the ecosystem services that they provide.
