Garbett's Wood is a woodland in West Sussex, England, in Rogate. It covers a total area of 2.47 hectares (6.10 acres). It is owned and managed by the Woodland Trust. [1]
The Woodland Trust is the largest woodland conservation charity in the United Kingdom and is concerned with the creation, protection, and restoration of native woodland heritage. It has planted over 50 million trees since 1972.
In the United Kingdom, ancient woodland is that which has existed continuously since 1600 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Planting of woodland was uncommon before those dates, so a wood present in 1600 is likely to have developed naturally.
