02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Aigas Community Forest was established to own and operate our local forest for the benefit of the community. We manage the woodland sustainably, moving some parts back to native species and improving conservation, and replanting other areas for future income. We provide a path network with parking and toilet facilities as well as offering a range of events and activities for people of all ages. We also provide volunteering opportunities involving work such as path maintenance and replanting. We encourage use of the forest by Aigas Field Centre and the local primary school for educational purposes.
