Manx Wildlife Trust Hairpin Woodland Park
MWT Hairpin Woodland Park is the gateway to the Ramsey Forest, which is a long-term Manx Wildlife Trust project to encourage the naturally expanding woodland cover between Ramsey and Sulby.
MWT Hairpin Woodland Park will officially open in spring of 2024 and to celebrate 100 years of the Rotary serving the community of the Isle of Man, the Rotary Club of Douglas is raising funds to enable this exciting project to come fully to fruition. The money raised will fund the infrastructure development (education spaces, interpretation, footpaths, etc.) and enable the planting of more than ten thousand trees across the wider site extending southwards to Glen Auldyn.
This is our vision...
This is our vision...
A place to visit where you park at the Hairpin, take an afternoon stroll through the woodland park, have a cup of tea at the Milntown Estate, and meander back.
This is our vision...
A place where you can bring your family, play in the woods and see the best of Manx nature!
This is our vision...
15 acres of field that Rotary Club of Douglas helps turn into new woodland for everybody.
This is a fantastic project that will encompass native woodland, wetlands, meadows and a forest garden to showcase sustainability, wildlife and carbon capture. There will be interactive interpretation, play areas for young people to discover more about the Island’s natural history, and extensive pathways for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy this wonderful place.
