Wondrous woodlands of the White Peak
The woodlands of the White Peak make an attractive home for a whole host of bird species. Our rangers look after these woodlands to help maintain ideal conditions for birds and other wildlife by managing open land around ancient, native trees and keeping out grazing animals that can damage young trees and other woodland plants. Year on year our rangers monitor bird boxes in the White Peak and carry out surveys with the help of volunteers, to monitor all the various bird species and their populations.
Fires caused by BBQs and campfires have devastating effects on woodlands where birds and other wildlife lives, and for this and many other reasons, are not permitted across the Peak District National Park. It is therefore vital to the welfare and safety of the wildlife and our precious countryside that BBQs and campfires are avoided at all costs. Staff are patrolling regularly and will extinguish any lit BBQs or campfires immediately. Always call 999 in an emergency.
