Harworth Group plc, a leading regenerator of land and property for sustainable development and investment, announces the opening of Chevington North Woodland Creation Scheme, a stunning new natural space that represents a major milestone in the Company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The plantation, located in Northumberland, spans 200 acres and is home to an impressive 108,000 newly planted trees to enhance biodiversity and create a haven for wildlife and the local community.
Chevington North has an even split of native and evergreen trees, with the project also delivering habitat creation adjacent to the existing stream on the site and public access via an extensive network of permissive footpaths. Harworth secured grants from the Forestry Commission’s Woodland Creation Planning Grant (WCPG) and England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) to support the delivery of the project.
The tree-planting initiative is part of Harworth’s ongoing efforts to transform former industrial sites into vibrant spaces that benefit both nature and people, and this is just one example of the steps Harworth is taking to deliver its Net Zero Pathway and achieve its ambition to become operationally Net Zero by 2030.
The project has been delivered in partnership with Savills.
“The opening of Chevington North is an example of how Harworth regenerates land for the benefit of communities and the environment. The woodland will create a beautiful space for the local community to enjoy whilst also supporting environmental sustainability.”
Chris Warren, Director of Natural Resources, Harworth
