Community Woodland


The Alderney Community Woodland Project aims to create a large 17 hectare centralised, woodland habitat planted with native broadleaved species, accessible to the island's community and visitors.  The development of the Woodland has been focussed within three core aims: Wildlife, Amenity and Resource.

A wooded backbone

The Woodland will provide a stronghold for wildlife, bridging the gaps between existing habitats and helping to protect our island’s environment for the future.

A heart for our Community

It will offer a focal point for the island’s residents and visitors, which offers a new perspective on island life through Alderney’s cultural and natural environment.

The sinew that sustains our island

The woodland will help Alderney preserve and develop its natural assets in a renewable way and in doing so offer us the opportunity to will make our island a more sustainable place for future generations.
