Holmes Plantation

Location: Kettlethorpe The project has seen the creation of a new network of footpaths throughout the woodland which will in turn increase the usage of the area throughout the seasons. Selective tree clearance has resulted in a brighter, more open and inviting space and the planting of over 150 new trees has helped to fill voids in the woodland where a new lease of life was required.
