Garston Wood is a 34 hectare nature preserve on the border between Dorset and Wiltshire in England set up by the RSPB to protect birds living in the region. To help maintain the park, the RSPB sets annual population targets for certain breeding pairs of birds, and manages the forest by clearing out taller and non-native trees.

In an effort to help tourists and volunteers enjoy the park, the RSPB holds an annual event programme, bi-annual volunteer working parties, and publishes a regularly updated trail guide. They also work to improve their visitor facilities, and maintain a media profile.
