Description

The Gloucestershire National Nature Reserve (NNR) Team is responsible for the management of a suite of NNRs across Gloucestershire and beyond. This includes Highbury Wood NNR which is a prime example of the very rich and diverse woodland for which the Wye Valley is internationally important. The site is noted for its variety of woodland types, reflecting the wide range of soils, aspect and drainage on the site. Highbury Wood forms part of the Wye Valley Woodlands Special Area of Conservation, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and lies within the Wye Valley Area of outstanding Natural Beauty. There are a series of Public Rights of Way (PROWs) running through Highbury Wood including the Offa's Dyke National Trail meaning the woodland is well used by both local and long-distance walkers. Ash dieback is widespread within Highbury Wood and to maintain long-term public safety it is necessary to remove diseased ash trees along PROWs and access tracks within the wood.
