About the reserve

The ACW is a focus for local community and wildlife. Our aim is to create a large and centralised woodland habitat with native broadleaved trees rich in wildlife, sustainably managed for the benefit of the local community and providing educational and recreational facilities.

The ACW is situated on States of Alderney land, and is currently managed by the AWT in partnership with two tenants and a number of closely involved groups, societies and businesses. The main Woodland Bunker is also a classroom and meeting space available on request by any community group.

We also hope in the long-term to keep traditional woodland skills (such as greenwood turning) alive and produce good quality greenwood products from the site.
