The Great Storm - Ken Wood

Inscription

The Great Storm
In the early hours of 16th October 1987, a hurricane force wind swept through Ken Wood. 54 mature trees were blown down and the wood devastated. As a site of special scientific interest, the storm damage is being repaired by careful management to encourage natural regeneration. The contributions from those listed here are helping to bring new life to the storm damaged woods.
