St Albans Woodland Burial Trust \ Bunting Glade Keysoe

Bunting, Woodland Glade.

Bunting is part of the additional woodland we acquired in June 2014. The glade itself was subsequently commissioned in 2017 with the clearance of choking weeds and thickets soon after - an essential job to help the new trees get established, remove species that had succumbed to disease and encourage the return of woodland plants.

The clearance revealed a diverse selection of native tree species which we have been nurturing ever since. They look well established already and will make a fitting contribution to a mature and ancient woodland of the future.

Access is via Pipit Glade.

Date Created

The site was consecrated in June 2014, commissioned in 2017 completed in 2018 and opened 2023.

Status

This glade opened with 70 plots in November 2023. Plots are available.

Fauna and Wildlife

The site nestles within 60 acres of managed woodland and includes a wide range of native tree species including oak, mountain ash and maple. Although relatively young, the trees already look impressive and the autumn colours are spectacular.

The glade is well positioned to mature into one of tomorrow's ancient woodlands, bringing with it wonder and fascination for future generations and a multitude of different habitats for fauna and wildlife - all of which are actively encouraged through good husbandry of the land.
