SHERWOOD: THE LIVING LEGEND

THIS IS PART OF A £65M PROJECT COMPRISING A NEW VISITOR CAMPUS AT SHERWOOD FOREST, MULTI-USER ROUTE NETWORK, FOREST RE-CREATION AND VILLAGE ENHANCEMENT SCHEMES. WE ARE SEEKING BIFFAWARD FUNDING TOWARDS:

– INCREASING OAK BIRCH WOOD-LAND/WOOD-HEATH COVERAGE IN SHERWOOD, LINKING REMNANT HABITATS AND IMPROVING THE VISUAL LANDSCAPE, THROUGH A COMPETITIVE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE SCHEME WITH LOCAL LANDOWNERS (£5,027,050).

– RESTORING THE FOOTPRINT LEFT BY THE EXISTING VISITOR CENTRE WITHIN SHERWOOD FOREST NNR BACK TO ‘FAVOURABLE CONDITION’ THROUGH BIODIVERSITY ENHANCEMENT WORKS. THE CENTRE IS HAVING A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE SITE AND IS TO BE CLOSED AND REPLACED BY A NEW CENTRE OUTSIDE THE NNR (£86,100).
