Roundway, Fleetwood
A Miyawaki Microwood is proposed for planting in early 2025, made possible by collaboration with Lancashire County Council Treescapes Team and help from the local community. 1500 sapling native trees will be planted into a circular area of enriched ground enclosed in a chestnut pale fence with a public access gate. The Microwood requires some maintenance for the first three growing seasons after which becomes self-sustaining. The trees grow much quicker than in a traditional plantation as the soils mimic the conditions in a long-established woodland ecosystem. The trees draw in and sequester carbon rapidly and provide many benefits for ecology, wildlife and the public.
