New website will help dog walkers explore nearby woodland

Tue, 28 Jun 2011

With the launch of the UK's first interactive website on publicly accessible woods, dog walkers will be able to get directions to their nearest woodland.

VisitWoods.org.uk has been designed to help people around the UK discover 14,000 woodlands on one free database. The £2.1 million project has been developed by the Woodland Trust in partnership with other leading organisations such as the Forestry Commission, the National Trust, Wildlife Trusts, RSPB, Yell and DoubleTree by Hilton. Gail Graham, project manager for VisitWoods, said: "VisitWoods.org.uk is a great way for dog lovers to discover woods close to where they live, as well as further afield. It features lots of great ideas and resources, which we hope will inspire users to try something new. In the long-term our aim is that VisitWoods.org.uk becomes a vital public service, which thousands of people all over the country will come to use on a regular basis." She added that the website is a great fit for companies that cater for pets to support as it will become a widely used information source by their customers and supporters.
