Wet Woodland

Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Worsbrough Wet Woodland project aims to protect and enhance the natural heritage of Worsbrough Country Park. The park has some incredible habitats which are home to a number of priority species, including the willow tit and harvest mouse and the project will work to ensure their presence remains on site. The Worsbrough Wet Woodland project also aims to improve access to the park, through a mixture of practical improvement works as well as updated signage and interpretation.
