Worplesdon Parish Council owns:
- Nevins Copse at Pinks Hill, Wood Street Village,
- Harry’s Meadow – Jacobs Well, and
- Jacobs Well Recreation Ground.
The Parish Council also leases and maintains:
- Perry Hill Green
- Pitch Place Green
- Wood Street Village Green
In some of these locations, the current tree stock is ageing and the Parish Council wishes to plant new trees (succession planting) to ensure that there is a constant supply of healthy trees for the benefit of residents, flora and fauna, and to mitigate against climate change. A grant has been obtained from Guildford Borough Council towards this project.
The Parish Council has taken specialist advice, following which a list trees, which were deemed suitable – subject to the specific planting location, has been created.

2023-10 Pitch Place Green – Map
2023-10 Wood Street Village Green – Map
The locations were chosen to ensure that the new trees would not have a negative impact on the existing tree stock.
The optimum time for tree planting will soon be upon us!
