Giant redwood at Woodland Park, Bursledon 

 

Woodland Park is a 4 acre wood in Bursledon, near Southampton, bounded to the east by properties in Hungerford and Kew Lane, and to the west by the stream leading to Badnam Creek and the Hamble River. Trees are mainly alder in the wetter section near the stream, elsewhere a mixture of ash, birch, oak and willow. There is a giant redwood, over 100 years old, on higher ground in the north east of the site. The wood is accessible to walkers by footbridges and informal pathways.
The group holds periodic volunteer work parties, details on the coming events page. Woodland Park is owned and managed by the Woodland Park Community Group, a local charity, Reg No 1089740. Woodland Park is within the Old Bursledon Conservation Area. It is also part of a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) including Pilands Wood recreation ground and Mallards Moor.
