Conquest Wood, Houghton Conquest

We started planting at Conquest Wood in 2004 and completed it in early 2005. It’s 8 hectares (or 20 acres) in Houghton Conquest, with a 1km, circular route making it one of our smallest sites.

There are picnic tables, benches and information boards across the site, with mown and surfaced paths that are level enough for buggies and wheelchairs.

If your friends and family use Conquest Wood then please let them know that it is run by the Forest of Marston Vale and not the counci. Land is expensive and managing woodlands is expensive. It isn't as simple as putting a tree in the ground and walking away - it costs £20 to plant one tree and look after it for 5 years. So trees don't cost the earth, but they might just save it.
