Description

Some 2000 trees and 1,500 woodland shrubs were planted during the establishment of the Country Park. This patchwork of young woodland and grassland give nesting cover and food for an increasing range of birds. The Visitor Centre is the focus for activity days and special events and can be booked for use by school parties. Contact City of York Council, Parks and Open Spaces on 01904 613161.
