Tree Planting in Durham at Chapel Hill Woodland
Chapel Hill Woodland, is a brand new woodland which links the Ancient Semi Natural Woodlands of Bassleton Woods and Preston Park Woods and will create a new wildlife corridor.
IMPORTANT VISITOR INFO – Take only photos. Leave only footsteps.
To keep the woodland as natural as possible we don’t label individual trees and we ask that visitors do not place their own plaques, labels, flowers, etc in the woodland. Each tree we plant should be seen as part of a natural woodland.

Chapel Hill Woodland, is a new woodland which links the Ancient Semi Natural Woodlands of Bassleton Woods and Preston Park Woods and will create a new wildlife corridor.
The woodland and project is managed by Tees Valley Wildlife Trust. Since 2009, with the help of EFORESTS, they have planted 3000 trees on the site.
The tree planting is part of the creation of a new nature reserve on 17 hectares of farmland, on the floodplain and valley sides of the River Tees at Preston Farm in Stockton.
The nature reserve will connect a number of natural areas on the course of the River Tees to form a significant network of urban green spaces.
It also contributes to the objectives described the Wildlife Trust's Living Landscapes and the Tees Valley Green Infrastructure Strategies.
The reserve will have a range of habitats including open water for wetland birds, floodplain grazing marsh for wading birds such as Golden Plover and Curlew, reed bed to support breeding birds such as Sedge Warbler and Grasshopper Warbler and to assist the recovery of otter populations.
