Guided Visit to the woodland creation project Bye Wood hosted by the ENPA Woodlands Team 25/09/21 

Bye Wood is part of the biggest woodland creation project to have taken place in the National Park in the past 15 years and forms part of our commitment to increase tree cover on Exmoor from around 13.5% to at least 17% by 2050 - the amount recommended by the UK government’s independent Climate Change Committee.

At Bye Wood, our vision is to create a unique and sustainable woodland in 2021/2 using only the best environmentally-friendly practices. At Bye Wood, we will:*Plant 13,000 trees over 12 hectares *Be plastic free wherever possible - using only fully recyclable, reusable, and compostable materials *Use only locally sourced wood with no chemical treatments *Favour sustainable methods using organic and physical methods in preference to chemicals *Use careful structural planting to support tree growth and resilience to the pressures of a changing climate *Create community areas to connect people with nature and inspire them to care for it*Nurture wildlife habitats

Join the woodlands team to find out all about the project and have all your questions answered.
