Long term intentions

Abbey grove is managed by a vibrant and active community group who undertake all current management. The long term intention will be to maintain this close bond between the local community of Felixstowe and abbey grove.

Secondary Woodland

The long term intention will be to allow the majority of abbey grove to develop naturally and become high forest through minimal intervention. The meadow will be maintained as an area of open ground adding further diversity and public open space to the site. The stand of pure hazel will be managed on a 6-8 year rotation to provide poles to the local garden

Public access

The long-term intention is to maintain a sustainable level of use by maintaining the access features and internal infrastructure appropriately. The long-term management will concentrate on maintaining the current paths and internal structures, such as entrances, benches and sculptures to a safe useable standard.
