Woodcote Farm

A 1997 Tender Scheme winner for the Woodland Trust, Woodcote Farm covers 9.47ha close to Smisby and Ashby-de-la-Zouch.  A predominantly oak and ash broadleaved woodland planted on former farmland.  The old hedgerows have been retained and allowed to grow out in order to increase their value.  A meadow area is sown with grassland and wildflower mix and mown once a year as a hay crop to encourage wildflower seeding.  Previously blocked ditches have been cleared to encourage wetland plants and add diversity to this very informal site.

Woodcote Farm is featured in the Woodland Trust's Directory of Properties.
