Working Woodlands Centre at Maulden Wood

Situated off the A6 just north of Clophill the Greensand Trust’s Working Woodlands Centre provides an excellent base for exploring Maulden Wood (owned and managed by Forestry England). At the centre we have an indoor classroom and toilet facilities. The venue has space for coach parking. In the nature discovery area, there is an enclosed space with shelter that can be used for nature study and lunch time picnics. From here we can explore woodland and meadow habitats with an option for pond dipping at certain times of year.
