Wolfson Tree Management Centre: a lot has happened in a month! Part two!

Posted: November 4, 2015 at 21:16 pm Author: Sophie Nash

Work is currently underway on what will become the new Wolfson Tree Management Centre. The new facility will provide all that Westonbirt’s expert tree team needs to manage the tree collection.

The Mess Building

The new mess building will provide the tree team with a communal space for team meetings and lunch breaks as well as a WC and a drying room for their chainsaw trousers and jackets.

The new building is located between the new machinery store and the Forestry Commission offices and will be a significant upgrade compared to their existing cabin!


Perchard and Co., the contractor, and a group of volunteers have been making great progress over the last month. All timber has been sourced from the arboretum through our on-going management.
