Bradfield Woods

Bradfield Woods National Nature Reserve is a working wood that has been under continuous traditional management since 1252, supplying local needs for firewood and hazel products. One of Britain’s finest ancient woodlands the site is a glorious haven for wildlife. The range in soil types from acid to alkaline explains the impressive variety of plants – 370 at the last count! Coppiced wood products from Bradfield are used for thatching, tool handles, rustic poles, hurdle-making and firewood.

In recent years there has been concern that an increasing level of deer browsing is degrading the habitat for nightingales.

A Dormouse re-introduction project was started at Bradfield in 2006.

CMA having a social evening! Whatever next?

We will be meeting in the Dragon Inn, 51 The Tything, Worcester, WR1 1JT on Thursday 20th December from 8.30pm onwards.

It's late night shopping in Worcester on Thursdays so why not combine the two? (a social evening and supporting the local businesses - it just keeps getting better)

If you can give me an indication if you're looking to attend then that would help! email me on head.ranger@yahoo.com

Merry Christmas
