About Hazeley Wood
Hazeley Wood is a developing woodland and requires a lot of attention. It is not unusual to spot our volunteers amongst the trees pruning side branches of oaks to improve their form. This practice is just one of the many fantastic jobs our practical volunteers carry out to maintain our green spaces.
Hazeley Wood was planted in 1991 by The Development Corporation, and in 1992, The Parks Trust took over its care and development when the charity was established. The wood features trees like hazel, oak, beech, hornbeam, and ash, providing a home for many insects and fungi. Around its edges, you'll find areas with wildflowers and an old hedgerow that hosts an array of wildlife.
At certain times, part of the woodland is reserved for use by the Milton Keynes Field Archery Club and we ask visitors to keep out of this area when the archery is taking place.
Look out for butterflies, moths, and insects, and a diverse range of birds and bats. Over the colder months, jays can be seen gathering acorns for winter, and the woodland becomes a wonderful spot to find fungi.
