Forestry England are creating a new ‘Coronation Wood’ to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The new woodland at Lower Lye will cover 21 hectares and connect with Bucknell Wood, a 225-hectare woodland which Forestry England already manages at Bucknell in Shropshire. We have purchased the site to create a new woodland for local people to explore and enjoy.
Work in progress
We are progressing with our detailed planning for the new woodland. The woodland at Lower Lye 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.
Public consultation
We are currently inviting feedback on our draft design proposals for the new woodland and would value input from local residents. To view and comment on our proposals by Tuesday 28 May 2024, and to see details of our public drop-in events, please visit our consultation page via the button below.
