We planted 2,000 trees and 1,500 woodland shrubs when the country park was first established.

We're still developing woodland including willow, birch, pine, oak and ash trees. Hawthorn, blackthorn and dog rose shrubs give nesting cover and food for a range of birds.

Rawcliffe Bar Country Park has been awarded a Green Flag Award each year since 2009. Sites with Green Flag Awards are considered to be the best in the country.

The Country Park Office can be booked for special events and activity days (including for school parties) - for further details, telephone: 01904 553676 or email: environmentandcommunity@york.gov.uk.
