Story of Land Restoration and formation of community forest.
Rectory Wood Park, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England; Forest of Marston Vale. Purchased in 2003, Rectory Wood is 70 hectares of former agricultural land that was progressively restored with native trees and bushes. It covers the slopes between Cranfield and the old woods of Marston Thrift. Previously used as landfills and clay pits, the Forest of Marston Vale is a Community Forest located between Bedford and Milton Keynes.
There are picnic tables, benches and information boards across the site, with mown and surfaced paths that are level enough for buggies and wheelchairs.
