Here’s a few heritage projects, funded by the Forestry Commission & the Heritage Lottery Fund that you may be interested in. The idea is to make a new trail into the forest to link and interpret its landscape history, wildlife and forest management. Please note, these are Forestry Commission projects, not Brandon Heritage Centre, so contact details are at the bottom of this message for anyone interested. 🙂
