Buckler's Forest tree work

We are carrying out major woodland management work at Buckler’s Forest, Crowthorne.

We closed a footbridge over the Blackwater River in January 2023 for safety reasons.

We expect to finish the footbridge replacement in 2024.

We are removing invasive rhododendron ponticum and cherry laurel and replanting with a mix of native broadleaved species.

This regeneration project removed Corsican pine trees from Big Wood, replacing them with native tree types.

This long-term project is to remove pine trees from Crowthorne Road, replacing them with native varieties.

In the first phase of this project, we removed invasive cherry laurel and replanted with native trees.

The Bracknell Forest Nature Partnership worked on several projects to improve green corridors in the borough.
