Site species count:
This 15 acres site has recently been planted with 14,000 native and naturalised trees. Planting was supported by the Forestry Commission and Hathern Parish Council. Planting sessions involved the local community.
The project will contribute to Charnwood Borough Council’s commitment to become Carbon Neutral by 2030. It is estimated that after 30 years the Hathern Community Woodland has the potential to capture up to 1,323 tonnes carbon dioxide.
