Purpose

This project will improve the ecological and
amenity value of an existing recreational site which lies on the
fringe of Tollbar, a suburb of Doncaster. Woodland creation in this
urban fringe location will involve a total planted area of 1.8 ha
(including open space) of native woodland, with areas of varying
density for variable structure and to reflect site conditions and
for landscape character. A total of 2,100 trees will be planted
(including approx. 25% shrubs), with
40% open space of the site remaining for recreation and access
purposes.
Sensitive woodland creation at this site will increase habitat
connectivity and other ecological benefits whilst also enhancing
the space for the local users of the site. This site will link in
with
the existing woodland sites at Bentley Community woodland and the
nearby CDC Bentley tip site to increase tree cover, robustness and
ecological connectivity in the area of NE Doncaster.
