Norton’s Wood in March – small leaved lime and ash
Norton’s Wood is part of Clevedon Court Estate and comprises 16 hectares (39.54 acres) of ancient semi-natural woodland situated in east Clevedon (grid.ref. ST 431 722).
Each year from the early 1990s up till 2015, under an agreement with Clevedon Court Estate, the Woodcutters for Wildlife coppiced a new quarter hectare square, thus enhancing the value of the woodland to wildlife by promoting a succession of varying habitats. Mature trees were thinned to allow in more sunlight, and young native species planted. The Woodcutters last working party here was in March 2016.
