The Working Woodlands Centre (WWC) provides infrastructure and support for the protection and enhancement of both the local environment and rural economy. It intends to stimulate new and support existing sustainable woodland enterprise, tourism and opportunities for communities to be involved and benefit from their environment.

It is situated at Deadman’s Hill Lay-by off the A6 between Bedford and Luton. It is adjacent to Maulden Wood Site of Special Scientific Interest, a 250 expanse of woodland and meadows.
