In 1996 the Woodland Trust and local communities purchased about 73 hectares or about 180 acres of the farmland of Merry Hill Farm in Bushey and set about converting the mainly arable farmland back to meadows and woodland for the public to access. About 60,000 new trees were planted. In this view old mature oaks that formed the original field boundaries are on the left while one of the areas of new planting is on the right.
