Edgeley Wildlife & Nature Reserve Today
Woodland
In spring, 2023, 77 trees of various types were counted across the whole area . Only mature and young established trees were counted. Apart from the Scots Pine and the Yew, saplings or trees of less than 7ft in height (of which there are many) were not counted.
An independent survey counted a total of 280 trees (including young). Although not ancient, new or secondary woods are still important. Secondary woods and individual trees offer many species of wildlife a home and are important to people and culture in all sorts of ways.
