Hagg Wood is a conifeous plantation on an ancient woodland site that still has many remnants of the native woodland vegetation. The site is owned by the Church Commissioners and managed by the Forestry Commission. A local group, the Friends of Hagg Wood, help care for the woodland and are actively involved in its management.

Habitats: Hagg Wood is a Planted Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS for short). Management of the wood is aimed at gradually removing most of the conferous trees and restoring it to native woodland. This is a process that will take many years.

How to get there:
By road. Take the A1079 (Hull Road)from York. After crossing the A64 eastern by pass take a left (north) turn signed Dunnington. On entering the village take a right fork and look for Hagg Lane. A public footpath leads from the village past Hagg Farm into the wood. Please do not obstruct farm gateways with vehicles.
