  • Blackhouse Wood – a Summary of the Management Plan

    Blackhouse Wood – a Summary of the Management Plan

    Blackhouse Wood – a summary of the management plan Brief Description Blackhouse wood has been managed by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust since April 2014 and the purchase was completed in September 2015. It is located 12 miles west of Worcester in the parish of Suckley at grid reference SO732 520. At 38.5 hectares it is a large ancient semi-natural woodland. It would almost certainly be a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) were it not for the re-planting with conifer that took place in the 1960’s. Despite this planting the site still has many interesting ancient woodland features, that when fully restored to a native broad-leaved woodland mix would greatly enhance the conservation value of the Suckley ridge. Characteristic to the area there are a number of former hand quarries that run along the western edge of the site. These provide access to important geological strata –Much Wenlock limestone and Lower Ludlow shales – for study. These quarries have made parts of the woodland difficult to manage and are in part responsible for the survival of many of the older and more ecologically interesting trees. The woodlands on this ridge form an important link between the Malvern Hills complex and the Wyre Forest and lie just over 1km from the Trust’s flagship nature reserve, the Knapp and Papermill. Worcestershire Wildlife Trust own Crews Hill wood, which is contiguous to Blackhouse running north on the Suckley ridge. Crews Hill is a SSSI and is an ancient woodland site with many interesting species present and at 6.94 hectares it is an important ancient woodland site within the area.
