AN INNOVATIVE North Yorkshire woodland project has received a £30,000 grant from the London-based Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
The grant will enable the 25-acre Three Hagges Jubilee Wood at Escrick, near York, to develop into a vibrant eco-system combining woodland and meadow and to appoint a project officer.
Rosalind Forbes Adam, who masterminded the community wood with her son Beilby, said the generous grant was a ‘game changer’, enabling Hagge Woods Trust to develop a ‘beautiful and truly’ bio-diverse habitat.’
