Our research woodland has just opened a new public pathway! We're excited to open this first new path along the edge of our growing woodland, as well as adding a new sign to help visitors understand some of the research we're doing at #GairWood 🧪🌍🌳
Exciting news! We've opened a new path at the woodland we planted in 2023 🎉
As the trees grow, we're studying the way that woodland ecosystems, biochemisty, soils, acoustic environments etc. develop. Plus, more established trees means more resilience to disturbance, so more public access! 🌳💚

A new public footpath has opened at Gair Wood in North Leeds, connecting with two popular routes, helping visitors avoid walking alongside busy roads 🌳👣
More than 60k trees were planted there three years ago to enhance the local environment and provide a valuable resource for research and teaching.
Joining up with the Meanwood Valley Trail and the Leeds Country Way, walkers on those routes can now pass through Gair Wood and enjoy the developing woodland.
