The Twinberrow Foundation announced its purchase of 36.8 acres of land known as Hermitage Woodland, which is located next to Twinberrow Woods in Dursley in January 2024.

The Foundation plan to maintain the woodland as a community asset and manage it alongside Twinberrow Woods for the benefit of the community. It will be done so in accordance with the conditions of a generous bequest that enabled the purchase to happen.

The Chair of the Foundation, Alex Stennett said "We are very pleased to have been able to purchase this woodland area which will be an asset to the community for generations to come. It is only due to the generosity of the late Martyn Genner and a bequest left to the Foundation, that we have been able to do this.

With the help of our Woodland Manager, we have carried out an initial assessment of the condition of the trees in Hermitage Woodland, to help identify any immediate concerns and work that may be required.

We would now like to gather resident views on how they would like to see this wonderful woodland that sits above our town managed in the future".
