Victoria Garesfield

UK Wildlife Trusts

A reclaimed colliery site, this reserve has been extensively planted with alder and white poplar in the past. Sycamore, black poplar, silver birch, and broom have also naturally colonised, together with the ground flora associated with ancient woodland sites. The species-rich grassland at Victoria Garesfield is especially worthy of note. Management includes annual hay cuts of the grassland, along with woodland management.
