The Drayton Manor Woodlands Project. Volunteers Page In its 4th year we have now cleared much of the invasive species such as Rhododendron. We are continuing to manage the area with local wildlife in mind.

Founded in 2008 and run by Robin Roberts and Ben Murcott the project was started with the aim of restoring the 17 acre woodland located on the Drayton Manor estate, managing the land so to enhance and encourage native species. Creating habitats for invertebrates, dormice and other woodland species.
