About Broaks Wood
Broaks Wood covers an area of 62hectares, the majority of which is designated as an Ancient Woodland site and has probably existed as a woodland since the end of the last Ice Age, 12,000 years ago. Broaks wood is managed with conservation as a priority, but an average of 500 tonnes of timber are harvested annually. Coppicing is practiced on some broad-leaved species which benefits wildlfe by adding to the diversity of the habitat.
