Buckle's Wood
Elmsett Greenlife Grove Scheme (or EGGS) is a community woodland scheme in Elmsett, near Ipswich in Suffolk, England, begun in 2005. We've planted a woodland on land owned by James Buckle, so we've named it Buckle's Wood.
Buckle's Wood has been supported from the beginning by The Green Light Trust, which has a similar scheme at Lawshall in Suffolk, and by the children, parents and staff from Elmsett Primary School.
The children chose the scheme's name, helped to grow trees and to plant them, and use the woodland as an outdoor classroom. They also have fun learning in Buckle's Wood too!
Recently the village eco council worked with Elmsett pupils to build bird boxes which have been placed in Buckles Wood and our forest school site to encourage birds to nest in a safe area.
