Our small reserves may be small in size but they can be big for wildlife.

Alpine MeadowA fine piece of chalk grassland in a wooded valley within the unspoilt Ashridge Woodlands.
DanemeadThis complex of woods is cited as being one of the two outstanding localities in the UK for Oak-Hornbeam forest.
Hexton Chalk PitOnce an active chalk quarry, this small reserve is now full of chalk grassland herbs and grasses. It is a peaceful spot with fine views across the border into Bedfordshire.
Hill End PitA small chalk pit, noted for its fossils, surrounded by chalk grassland and scrub.
Longspring WoodThis small wood is a suprise, tucked behind the houses in Toms Lane. In spring it has masses of bluebells but offers a quiet refuge at any time of year.
Ridlins MireA small but very unusual dome of peat with associated mire vegetation.
Stocking Spring WoodNestling amongst the wooded estates of central Hertfordshire, this small wood is a beautiful example of traditional coppice management and its value to wildlife.
Uxbridge AldergladeThis reserve comprises disused railway line and adjoining woodland between the Shire Ditch and the Fray's River.
