About this wood

For a really rewarding experience combining open heath with natural woodland, Owlet Plantation is well worth a visit. Birch, oak and pine areas are interspersed among more open heath while scattered throughout the area you’ll find mature oak trees. Remnant heath vegetation occurs on more open areas and is home to a wealth of butterflies like the brimstone, small copper and purple hairstreak, giving Owlet its Site of Nature Conservation Interest status. You might also catch a glimpse of a nuthatch or a great spotted woodpecker.
