By adding these 29 acres to Westonbirt we've opened up many future opportunities to continue connecting people with trees.

Coppice Shelter

Coppice Shelter

A permanent timber built structure to provide shelter from the elements throughout the year helping the coppicers to continue this important tradition.

Community Shelter

Community Shelter

After years of planning, and taking just over six months to build, the community shelter is completed and in use. This space aims to provide a lasting, calm, and protective space for our community programme that sits comfortably in its woodland setting.

Quarantine House

The Quarantine House is complete and awaiting its first intake of young trees. The facility will enable the Westonbirt Tree Team to improve on-site biosecurity control, for the essential acquisition and accession of new plant material, such as seeds and young plants.
