News on Haringey’s Ancient Woodlands

Happy Earth Day!

Let’s celebrate with a silent but profound transformation happening in the heart of our three ancient woodlands for the past 12 months, captured through the Fixed Point Photography (FPP) project. 

The FPP project has been our way of capturing the amazing visual journey of soil recovery and ground flora change within the fenced conservation areas established in 2023. Find out more about FPP here and the fenced conservation areas here.

We owe a huge thank you to our dedicated Friends groups who are in charge of this project and took in total 40 photos at 10 fixed points in Bluebell Wood, Coldfall Wood, and Queen's Wood from June 2023 to March 2024.  

Today, let's take a look through the changes in Coldfall Woods!

What used to be heavily compacted soil is now recovering with more organic matter, nurturing the earth and providing a home for new growth. And speaking of growth, you can see the slow but steady greening of the banks.

These photos aren't just snapshots – they're reminders of what's possible when we work together to protect the places we love. So let's keep up the good work, because with every conservation effort, we're giving nature the chance to bounce back!
