Little Linford Wood

Little Linford Wood is a 42.5 hectare nature reserve in Little Linford in Buckinghamshire. It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.[1]

Much of the woodland is young as it was felled in 1980, shortly before the Trust took over the site, buth there are also areas of mature oak and ash. In 1998 dormice were introduced, and they live high up in the canopy. Other mammals include stoats and badgers, and there are birds such as great spotted woodpeckers, kestrels and buzzards. Grassy rides provide a habitat for butterflies.[1]

The wood is crossed by footpaths and there is access for cars by a track from the road between the B526 and Haversham.
