Hunter's Wood Nature Reserve
Hunter's Wood Nature Reserve is a nature reserve near Kingsley, Cheshire, England, managed by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust.
Hunter's Wood is a relatively new piece of woodland, originally planted on what was rough pasture on the southern bank of the River Weaver in 1999. There are small fragments of ancient woodland west, north and east of the reserve, some of them within the Warburton's Wood Nature Reserve, also managed by the Wildlife Trust. Hunter's Wood is intended to form a wildlife corridor linking these fragments, with the hope that specialist plants from the ancient woodland will eventually colonise. To this end, seeds were collected from surrounding areas and, in addition, 250 ash trees were planted.

Warburton's Wood Nature Reserve
Warburton's Wood Nature Reserve is a nature reserve near Kingsley, Cheshire, England, managed by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust.
The reserve consists of semi-natural woodland either side of a clough, or small valley, containing a tributary of the River Weaver. Together with Well Wood, a similar clough woodland to the east, it forms part of the Warburton's Wood and Well Wood Site of Special Scientific Interest, which covers a larger area of 8.1 hectares (20 acres).
Trees include familiar species such as pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and hazel (Corylus avellana), but also small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata) and wild service-tree (Sorbus torminalis), which are uncommon in Cheshire.
The Wildlife Trust also owns the adjacent Hunter's Wood Nature Reserve, on which trees have been planted to act as a wildlife corridor, and with the hope that specialist plants from the ancient woodland will eventually colonise.
