Tree Planting in Cornwall at Morwenstow Woodland

Morwenstow Woodland is a 1 acre parcel of land in the Cornish village of Shop, Morwenstow on the Cornwall / Devon border.

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.

Before visiting this woodland, please read our Frequently Asked Questions page, which gives you helpful tips about your tree and visitor guidance.

* THIS WOODLAND IS Temporarily Full *
We’ve planted so many trees here that there isn’t any space to plant more. We hope to be able to plant here again in future years.

The trees planted at Morwenstow connect an existing part of a woodland with a hedge over a sloping field encircled by a lovely brook at the bottom end. The existing woodland consists of several native species of trees, mainly Oak, Rowan and Blackthorn.

The woodland is a lovely habitat for many different species of birds and other wildlife.

A wide variety of native, British trees species have been planted throughout the area, improving its biodiversity.

This will create new wildlife habitats and corridors as well as providing food and nectar sources for birds and other animals.
