The woodland has been developed by ConocoPhillips Humber Refinery in conjunction with the local community and has seen a vast area covering 120 acres turned into a nursery woodland. Over 67,500 trees & shrubs have been planted over a two year period starting in 2005.
There are many ways you can become part of the woodland, become a friend, join us on one of our events days, or quite simply just visit and enjoy.

Mayflower Wood
Pilgrims Day - 13th July 2008
400 years after the Pilgrim Fathers left the shores at Killingholme for their journey to America - they returned and took part in the popular celebrations held at Mayflower Wood! They were joined by families who travelled from far and wide to take part in the fun and festivities. They had a go at archery, won prizes on the traditional stalls, admired the period displays & exhibits, were absorbed into the re-enactments and got a taste of 17th century life. The day raised over £800 for KAAG (The Killingholme Area Advisory Group) for the benefit of the local community. Well done, and thank you to everyone who took part! Did you come along? Do you have any photos from the day? If so, please send them to info@mayflowerwood.co.uk so that we can add them to our Gallery of the day!

SAY IT WITH A TREE.......
Harrison Piper, along with his mum Vikki and dad Brian are both the youngest and longest fans of Mayflower Wood and to thank him the Mayflower Wood team donated a tree for his 1st birthday. Harrisons mum Vikki said "we feel so lucky to have the woods on our doorstep. We try to go for a walk at least once a week through the woods, and are often lucky to see deer, foxes and squirrels... We have been walking through Mayflower Wood since I was pregnant and now Harrison is 1 year old, we couldn't think of a more perfect gift for him than a tree. It will be so nice to see it growing just like Harrison."

Trees generate oxygen and play host to a
spectacular variety of wildlife, helping
make woods such magical places. You
can say it with a tree and become
part of Mayflower Wood. We all have
occasions we wish to mark. Happy ones like
weddings and births, annual celebrations
such as birthdays or anniversaries, and
occasionally, sad ones like the passing of a
dear friend or relative. More and more people are choosing to “say it with trees” by dedicating a tree, the special gift that goes on growing, ensuring Mayflower Wood is there for future generations to enjoy. |
