This project embodies the principles of Newham Council's Just Transition Plan around decarbonisation, equity, and resilience.
Strategically located alongside significant transport routes and in areas with heightened pollution levels, such as along the busiest stretch of road in the borough, the Gooseley Park Forest serves as more than just a green space. It acts as a barrier between the noisy, polluted roads and the serene playing fields where residents engage in various activities like jogging, cricket, and football. By creating this green buffer, we not only enhance public health but also foster important ecosystems, connecting and expanding biodiversity networks throughout the borough.
Through a consultative approach, we have ensured that the forests planted align with community needs and improve the very spaces people utilise daily.

This forest has suffered recently due to the dry spring and summer we faced this year. We saw many of the trees adapting to these conditions - losing their leaves to save moisture. There has not been a huge amount of growth in the majority of the trees leaving the forest looking very young and bare in some spots. We hope to see more growth next year!
Planting: April 2024
