Summary
Pear Tree Wood was created in 1997 to connect nearby Burroughs Wood and Martinshaw Wood. Although planted with essentially a mix of native broadleaved trees, conifers in the northern section blend with those at Martinshaw Wood, to encourage the movement of pine-loving wildlife, particularly moths. The wood also includes a millennium feature of 12 coast redwoods, as well as a number of Scots pine. Open ground has been left at the stream to encourage different species to thrive in different habitats.
