Comforts Wood

What's really great about Comfort's Wood, one of the Woodland Trust's southern woodland creation sites in the Kentish High Weald, is that there are a number of Amber and Red BAP species now being found there and many of those species are likely breeders. Add this to all the common birds and species found here it becomes one of the best examples of new woodland already rich in wildlife.
