From the website of the Essex Wildlife Trust:

Urgent – Help us save Cottage Plantation: a fantastic woodland site. We have just 12 weeks to raise ?44,000 towards the purchase of Cottage Plantation – a fantastic woodland site in Daws Heath. Cottage Plantation is in a complex of ancient woodlands and has many native species of trees. Essex Wildlife Trust aims to acquire this site and we are determined to raise the last ?44,000 which, together with grants, will complete the purchase.

We need 1,760 people to donate ?25 each to help us save this truly tranquil and important woodland.

The woodland is on the opposite side of the road to Essex Wildlife Trust?s Little Haven nature reserve and would form an important part of the Daws Heath & Belfairs Living Landscape. As you can see from the attached map, Cottage Plantation is surrounded by ancient woodlands and nature reserves and, through Essex Wildlife Trust acquiring the site, this area will be even more robust so that wildlife can flourish.

The woodland is truly beautiful and walking in it offers tranquillity and a chance to escape from it all. At present it is privately owned but Essex Wildlife Trust will make the area accessible for all to enjoy. Footpaths will be improved and the site will welcome visitors.
