⚠️ Tree Works Notice - Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve ⚠️
You may see specialist contractors working across the reserve over the next few weeks as we undertake essential tree felling operations.
Unfortunately, as many of you will already be aware, our ash trees have been affected by Ash Dieback, a disease causing widespread decline and tree mortality across the country. To maintain a safe environment for visitors and staff, and to help safeguard the wider ecology and conservation value of the reserve, management work is required on a limited number of affected trees across Kingley Vale.
These works are an important part of managing the reserve, ensuring public safety, and helping to protect and enhance habitats for wildlife in the long term.
Please follow any on-site signage, temporary path closures, and instructions from staff or contractors while works are underway.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support while we carry out this important work.
