Background
History
The woods have been there since at least the 1700s as they featured on Jefferys Map of Buckinghamshire which was dated 1766–68. In the 1950s the woodland was bought by the London County Council as part of the Britwell development. In 1996 the site was declared as a local nature reserve by Slough Borough Council. In 2001 management of the reserve was given to Evergreen 2000 trust.
