natural habitat for wildlife and interest in the landscape.
Our current Supporter Woodland 2021-22
Whashton Wood is based just outside the national park, around four miles from Richmond.
4,000 trees were planted here in winter 2021-22 creating a broadleaf woodland with panoramic views of Richmondshire and a vital habitat for wildlife. The trees planted here will be native species including: Sessile Oak, Alder, Bird Cherry, Rowan, Scots Pine, Hornbeam and Aspen.
The woodland is also part of YDMT’s Plastic Free Woodlands project, supported by the European Outdoor Conservation Association, which aims to create woodlands free of plastic.
