Woodlands

There are a number of woodlands across the city of Wolverhampton.  These range from small copses to linear belts of larger blocks of woodland.  They add to the diversity of habitat across the city and provide essential food and shelter for a host of birds, invertebrates and mammals. Woodlands also support a number of plants that cannot grow elsewhere.

The Council recognises the importance of woodlands for nature conservation and Parks manage a number of woodlands across the city.  Many of these woodlands are open for the enjoyment of the public.

Sites with woodland walks include Smestow Valley Local Nature Reserve, Northycote Farm & Country Park and Pendeford Mill Nature Reserve.  Other sites worth a visit include Woodlands Walk, Spring Vale Park and Moseley Meadows (Abbeyfield Parklands).  Some of the more formal parks also contain blocks of woodland.  To find out more about our large parks, please visit the main parks page.
