Description

Robins Nest is a classic beech Ancient Woodland, nestled in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in a picturesque region of Hertfordshire. This wood is a few miles from the bustling town of Tring and around 30 minutes’ drive from the larger town of Hemel Hempstead. 

The topography of Robins Nest is mainly level, with some slight dips and a large hollow towards the eastern track which defines one of the wood's boundaries. The forest soils are fertile clays with flint deposits and are slowly permeable. A rich fungal community that has evolved over many centuries is a particular feature of this lovely woodland.

The wood’s upper canopy is mainly beech and sweet chestnut, the mid-canopy is rapidly growing birch and beech with abundant hazel and holly in the shrub layer. In places, there are older birch trees (around 50-70 years old), some have large burrs, a favoured material of wood turners and crafts people. In other parts, large open areas create a diverse habitat, great for wildlife.

The herb layer is a combination of ferns, grasses and sedges. In places, there are some small clearings where insects feed. A number of butterflies are known to the region such as the white admiral and pearl-bordered fritillary. Several species of deer, including muntjac and Chinese water can be seen and a diverse woodland bird population nest and feed. In particular, a resident barn owl is often heard calling.

If It Were Mine

For conservation purposes, a programme of coppicing the sweet chestnut stools would open up the canopy, further enriching the butterfly and insect population. This, along with respacing the younger birch would have the added benefit of yielding a quantity of woodfuel - for the logburner perhaps?
