Mike’s Wood was created in appreciation of a former Friends of the Lake District Secretary, Mike Houston, in 1993. At the same time as we bought the field to create the wood, local member Anne Beddard bought the field to the south. She worked in conjunction with us to create a new woodland, and later generously donated this to Friends of the Lake District. Under the overall name of Mike’s Wood this has given us a stunning native woodland which includes oak, alder, ash, birch, rowan, scots pine, hawthorn and juniper. We have created a footpath through the wood, linking into other routes and to Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s woodland nearby. The whole woodland is dedicated as open access land.
