Penn Wood, one of Britain's last surviving areas of 
ancient woodland, with.432 acres of mixed trees as 
well as grassland, is in a place of outstanding natural 
beauty. The wood has a record of public usage, 
stretching back through recorded history, but 
recently, 
the 
menace 
of 
'development 
and 
improvement' threatened its survival. In a region 
already well -endowed with golf courses, the owner 
submitted plans for yet another 18 -hole course. 
However, this angered local residents. They put up so 
much opposition to the plans that they were turned 
down by the Environment Secretary. Frustrated by 
the strength of the opposition he was receiving, the 
landowner eventually sold up, and the land was 
bought by the Woodland Trust, which will preserve 
the whole site as a prime wildlife habitat.
