Goldcrest Glade.
Although part of the original 2 acres of woodland, work did not start on this glade until 2011. It was another two years before it was finally seeded and opened, our sixth woodland burial glade. It featured on the front page of our 2013 Newsletter which can be found here.
Like the other early glades, it does comprise of a number of trees, which are primarily poplar and arrangements are in hand to introduce a wider variety of native specimens such as Oak, Willow, Alder etc. This will be done over a number of years but in the meantime, the poplars have matured nicely and provide their own unique character, no more so than when the wind blows.
Glade Information

The site nestles within 60 acres of managed woodland and mainly comprises Poplar trees. The trees have now achieved an impressive level of maturity. The silvery green foliage and rustling leaves give the glade a unique character.
Over the passage of time other native trees will be introduced such as Oak etc and the glade will take on a traditional woodland feel. In the meantime it offers a sanctuary for many different woodland plants and animals which are actively encouraged through good husbandry of the land.
