Take a walk around one of our smaller reserves - Selwyns Wood - a mixture of woodland types with heathy glades and streams.
A small mixed semi natural woodland near the town of Heathfield, mainly oak, birch and sweet chestnut, but with a few old big beech trees. It is nestled in a south facing valley with three streams running through it, one of which has developed into a typical Wealden ghyll stream.
There is also a small open area dominated by heather, a characteristic feature of woodlands in this part of Sussex, and one our volunteers work hard to maintain.
