Why are we planting trees here?

Forest Road Playing Fields is a large site of approximately 46ha in Hainault ward. The site is largely amenity grassland with a small area of young woodland planted by Trees for Cities in winter of 2018/19.

This new project aims to plant 4500 whips (young trees) to expand the woodland area and add varied age structure to the established planted woodland. As the site is used for recreation and as an event space, we have taken care to design the woodland not to interfere with sports pitches and event areas.
