Starling Wood Restoration Fundraiser

About Starling Community Woodland Restoration

Life for a Life Memorial Forest are undertaking an ambitious project to plant 8000 new trees at Beacon Fell Country Park to restore Starling Wood.

In 2018 Starling Wood was devastated by the ‘Beast from the East’, with high winds and storms causing many of the trees that once stood there to either fall over or become unsafe. Sadly, the only course of action was to ‘fell’ the woodland, a process which cost thousands of pounds, limited public access to the country park and destroyed a home for nature..

Creating The Future For The Community And Nature

We need your help to plant 8000 new trees to restored Starling Wood, creating a bio-diverse woodland which will become a home for many species of birds and other wildlife as well a place of recreation for the local community. Beacon Fell has played in vital role during the pandemic as a place refuge and source of well-being for the huge numbers of visitors escaping confinement to enjoy the outdoors and our plan will create a resilient home for generations to come.

By helping us restore Starling Wood you will also be helping local charities who play a vital role within the surrounding communities who look after those who do not enjoy the best of health, as the project will go even further than just creating a new woodland. Your donations will allow us to raise funds for each of the health-related charities connected with the project.

This project is being delivered in partnership with Lancashire County Council and supported by The Lancashire Chamber of Commerce “Low Carbon” initiative. The key social and environmental objectives Life for a Life and our partners aim to deliver on are;
