Description

Badger Bank is a mature broadleaf woodland surrounded by farmland or other woodland. The age of the trees ranges from very young natural regeneration to trees older than 150 years. Species growing here include oak, ash, sycamore, sweet chestnut, hazel and birch. Some of the oak and one or two of the ash are good specimens and contain valuable hardwood timber.

A woodland with such ease of access and yet such a peaceful and quiet location is rare in the West Midlands. It is on the edge of a bowl that is surrounded by other woodland or grassland, and at the end of a country road.

The ground slopes down to the track, from medium steep to gentle. Access is along a quiet country lane, then a hard private estate road and finally a grass track that leads up to and along the south-eastern boundary.

The forest floor is rich in wild flowers and shrubs, with patches of bluebells in the spring. The soils are well drained sandy loams over sandstone, which supports a wide variety of wild flowers, including patches of bluebells in the spring.

 If you are looking for a quiet little woodland to escape to then this is the one!


If It Were Mine

I would thin out 40% of the replanted ash and any trees in poor health, perhaps create a small clearing to  plant some new trees. I would maintain the access and open an area to park or camp.

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