Erlas Woodland – Digital Resources
Welcome to Erlas Woodland
Erlas Woodland is an accessible community woodland created within the grounds of Erlas Victorian Walled Garden in Wrexham.
The woodland has been developed as a welcoming and inclusive space where people can enjoy nature, learn about local wildlife and experience the benefits of spending time outdoors.
Erlas Woodland forms part of the National Forest for Wales and was developed with support from the Welsh Government and The National Lottery Heritage Fund through the Woodland Improvement Grant – TWIG 5.
The Erlas Woodland Story
The development of Erlas Woodland transformed an existing area of the Erlas site into an accessible woodland for our beneficiaries, visitors and the wider community.
Community consultation helped shape the development of the woodland, including its accessibility, wildlife habitats and interpretation.
The project has created a space that brings together nature, accessibility, learning, community and wellbeing.
