Entrance to Long's Wood Long's Wood was founded in 1994 by Dennis Long, whose family have farmed here for over a century.  He wishes to secure this resource as an amenity for the future, to share with the community and to provide a varied wildlife habitat.  The planting of the 70 acre community woodland situated to the south-west of Wymondham began in 1994 when local schoolchildren planted an area marked as Debro's on the information board's display > <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2397908" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2397908">Link</a>.  The land was then in arable cultivation, and the sections of the woodland derive their names from existing field names, family history and local characters.
