Field Visit (December 2007)
The Forest Garden consists of a large number of experimental forest plots
begun in 1932. They were seen as so significant that their management was taken on by the then Forestry Commission from 1957-1980. The Forest Garden is currently closed to the public. In the long term public access to this special and atmospheric space is envisaged; meanwhile on-going assessment and active management of the most critical stocks eg Picea koyamae are still required.
