Protect Earth said "decades of rubbish" would need to be removed from Blackswarth Road WoodProtect Earth has launched the fundraiser to buy Blackswarth Road Wood in the centre of Bristol.
The environmental charity says it would protect the land, improve biodiversity and create a wildlife refuge. The area is currently up for sale with the auction listing saying it has "scope for residential development subject to consents"."I've just seen everywhere I used to go cycling with my dad changed into a motorway or a shopping mall.
"It's basically a final piece of woodland where there's not much around. Whilst it's small, it's massively important," he said. Part of a Site of Nature Conservation Interest , the wood, which the environmental charity says is "crucial habitat" for wildlife including deer, badgers and buzzards, lies west of Troopers Hill and Crews Hole Woodland.
