We've been able to extend this wildlife-rich park thanks to you. And what's more, the new land will give visitors easier access to explore the site's unique history.
It was a race against time, but we were able to raise the £465,000 needed to buy a piece of farmland neighbouring our land at Tring Park.
This means that nearby ancient woodland will be buffered and protected. Wildlife will be able to move safely between the habitats we protect and the wider countryside. And people will have better access to the park without having to navigate the off-putting footbridge over the A41.

Common spotted orchid, autumn gentian, milkwort and large thyme - just some of the chalk-loving plants that will have more room to thrive. Butterflies such as marbled white and grizzled skipper will benefit too.

The new land has allowed us to solve some tricky access issues, opening up more space for visitors to roam. Ancient woodland, open parkland and grassland aflutter with butterflies is all waiting to be discovered.
Our work doesn't stop here. We will continue to:
We can't do any of this without you. We have thousands more woods like Tring, all over the UK, which we work tirelessly to care for and restore.
Your donation will help us keep woods open for people to enjoy and wildlife to thrive in, whatever you can give.
