Conservation work is to be carried out in a Leicestershire wood where some of the trees are said to be at risk of falling on visitors. The county council said cutting down some of the trees in Loughborough's Jubilee Wood would make it safer.
The wood will be closed for three months while the work is carried out.
Two blocks of woodlands will be felled with work starting in October. The trees will be replaced with native species including oak, birch and hazel.
But the neighbouring Outwoods will remain open.
The council said some of the trees were at risk of being blown down because they were not looked after properly when they were planted in the 1930s - so have not developed strong roots.
