Blog - The Westonbirt Project

Work is currently underway on what will become the new Wolfson Tree Management Centre. The new facility will provide all that Westonbirt’s expert tree team needs to manage the tree collection.

Come to Westonbirt on the 8th and 9th of April and you can help us to user test our brand new app!...

The role of the Community Inclusion team is to enable a greater number of people from under-represented groups to experience the arboretum and to connect with trees.

Henry Russell is a leading timber framer who was heavily involved in the creation of the Great Oak Hall and the Silk Wood Barn at Westonbirt Arboretum.

In the next few months we are due to start work on the new Tree Management Centre, as part of Phase Two of the Westonbirt Project.

If you have ventured into Silk Wood recently you may well have noticed our Tree Team hard at work in Maple Loop, which is an area was that was once a forest research plot packed full of hybrid larch trees.

The Welcome Building has been open nearly two months now and is beginning to feel like it’s always been here.

It’s been a very busy few weeks. Rich Bullock our site manager from Speller Metcalfe, has been working around the clock to complete the building so the Westonbirt team can start fitting out furniture and testing the new building.

The Welcome Building has been changing dramatically over a very short space of time and will continue to do so in the coming weeks.

It has been a while since my last Welcome Building blog and a lot has been changing inside and outside over the last few weeks!...
