Description

Maple Rise is a fantastic wood in picturesque Nottinghamshire countryside, just east of Lincolnshire. It is close to the village of Eakring and fifteen minutes by car from Newark on Trent. The securely gated wood benefits from a hard track leading from the council road and is suitable for a 2WD vehicle.

The wood lies between 70 and 90 metres above sea level, with topography constituting an area of gently sloping ground and a small valley that faces the south west.

The northern section of this wood is designated Ancient Woodland and the entire wood is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) relating to plants and features that are of note.

A good level of deadwood and fungi indicate the wood’s thriving ecology, as do butterflies and other insects, along with a diversity of woodland songbirds and flora.

Maple Rise hosts a wonderful selection of trees old and young, notably beech, ash, oak, abundant sycamore and of course maple. Smaller trees include birch, rowan and hazel.

The character of the wood is indicated by mature trees, patchy lower shrub and unbroken canopy providing a naturalised feel to one’s surroundings.

Historically the wider area formed part of the UK’s first on-shore oilfield and was in operation during the mid-1940s; the well heads were sealed many years ago.

The entire forested area has 7 years remaining on a 10 year management plan outlining, without obligation, the potential future management of the woodland that is in tune with the aspirations of SSSI.

If It Were Mine

I would look at removing some sycamore and ash and encourage some beech, oak or perhaps some hornbeam. I would retain deadwood habitats and put up some nesting boxes.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
