The Forestry Commission has opened Salts Wood, a 33‑acre woodland creation project in Kent that now contains 22,000 native trees. The site was developed to benefit the local community and wildlife, with hard‑path walkways that circle the woods for public use. Andy Humphryes, vice chair of the Boughton Monchelsea Parish Council, highlighted the new woodland during a briefing. The project is part of the commission’s broader efforts to increase native tree plantings across the country. Salts Wood is accessible to all and is intended as a place for recreation and wildlife habitat. The Forestry Commission published the case study on 28 November 2025 on GOV.UK.
