Description

Langley Wood National Nature Reserve is one 224 NNRs in England. As well as being important wildlife sites NNRs also play an important role in providing access to nature. In Langley Wood access is restricted to the Public Rights of Way. At certain times of the year large sections become impassable as the site becomes very wet. Improvements to these footpaths will enable visitors to access Langley Wood safely by keeping to the designated access routes.

The aim of this work is to upgrade existing tracks within the woodland. The finished track must provide a hard surface that is dry, suitable for walking on and can be used throughout the year as emergency access by light vehicles without causing rutting.

Track specification
• Width: 2.5m unless restricted by the existing track width
• Depth: Minimum of 15cm once rolled and compacted or greater where necessary to achieve the described track.
