Red Hill Woodlands

A 2ha Tender Scheme winner in 1997, Red Hill Woodlands is situated on the side of the Brizlincote Valley within areas of new housing development.  There are excellent views over Burton upon Trent across to Scalpcliffe Hill Local Nature Rreserve and you can see Tower Woods on the opposite side of the valley.  Community involvement in the tree planting was an important element of the site with many people from neighbouring houses joining in. Over 2,000 newly planted native trees and shrubs augment the existing scrub on site, creating habitats for a variety of wildlife right in the heart of the urban area.
