The vision for Roamers Wood is rooted in ecological restoration within the picturesque landscape of West Linton. Creating community woodlands enriches biodiversity, fosters environmental stewardship, and enhances mental and physical well-being through social and learning spaces. Roamers Wood is beginning to accomplish this vision by providing wildlife-friendly habitats, introducing fruit-bearing trees and shrubs (for people and wildlife), undertaking carbon capture, creating walking trails and a beautiful natural habitat for community gatherings, and running educational initiatives for school and youth groups.
