Forestry England are creating a new woodland at Haverah Park, near Harrogate in Yorkshire. This new Coronation Wood will commemorate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The 35 hectare woodland is between Beckwithshaw and Killinghall and will be open for informal public access for local people to enjoy alongside thriving wildlife and sustainably grown timber.
Work in progress at Haverah
The new woodland will be a valuable place for timber, wildlife, and local communities. The land will be planted with a mixture of broadleaf and conifer tree species, chosen to match local soil types and expected future climate conditions. The landscape design will also include open space for conservation and visual appeal and retain important views to the North York Moors.
We are creating detailed plans for the new woodland. The woodland at Haverah will be an important part of the work that Forestry England are doing to expand the nation’s forests as part of the Government’s Nature for Climate Fund.
Haverah consultation and plans
We shared draft designs for the new woodlands in summer 2024 and invited local people to give their ideas and feedback through a consultation process, which ended on 28 July.
The designs we consulted on and the feedback received can be viewed here.
Preparation and planning is taking place and we will begin planting the new woodlands in winter 2024/25.
