Background
The wood is owned and maintained by the Royal Borough of Greenwich. This excludes the Cooperative Woods, in the north east corner of the site, which in 1988 was gifted to the newly formed Bexley & Greenwich Community Hospice by the local community-owned Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society (RACS: founded in 1872 to serve locals and workers at the Royal Arsenal).[1][2] The farm and a few residual tracts of ornamental verges between the homes and streets built below Bostall Woods and named by the RACS over a century ago remain the last historically significant landholdings of what was once one of Kent's largest and longest lasting employers.
