This site is 2.02 hectares, and is located in Stansted Forest, owned by The Stansted Park Foundation.

This woodland area is not far from the coast and the forest is open to the public. In total, the area is 480ha of mixed woodland and part of a designated Grade 2* Historic Park on the border between West Sussex and Hampshire.

The trees existing in this plot previously were Japanese larch with an understory of native broadleaved natural regeneration. The trees were cut as a pre-emptive operation against larch disease. Larch disease, or ramorum disease, is a highly destructive, algae-like organism called a water mold. It causes extensive damage and death. The goal is to restore the productive woodland to absorb carbon, diversify productive plantations, and mitigate the threat of larch disease.

This project is executed from November 2022 to March 2023 and consists of the restocking of Douglas fir. The trees will be planted pure within a matrix of retained broadleaved natural regeneration and are all hand planted by our regular and trusted contractor after delivery from the nursery.
