The deer Wood Native Tree Nursery
The Deer Wood Tree Nursery, nestled in the heart of this mixed deciduous woodland was started in 2012. Initially it was simply intended to supply this woodland with a reliable source of good quality disease free stock from known healthy local provenance trees. Given the continual prevalence and spread of dangerous pathogens that have been imported and found their way into Britains cultivated and wild woodlands this single reason would be enough to motivate the nursery’s inception.
However, the success of the nursery right from the onset meant that we had a significant abundance of trees that we were able to sell to customers in the wider community.
