Brockholes Nature Reserve
Tree Planting in Lancashire at Brockholes Nature Reserve
Opened to the public in April 2011, Brockholes is a former sand and gravel quarry which has been transformed by The Lancashire Wildlife Trust. The reserve is still growing, and has a fantastic range of habitats to see, all year round.
* THIS WOODLAND IS Temporarily Full *
We’ve planted so many trees here that there isn’t any space to plant more.
We hope to be able to plant here again in future years.
For the nearest alternative woodlands take a look at the Woodlands Locations Map.
IMPORTANT VISITOR INFO – Take only photos. Leave only footsteps.
To keep the woodland as natural as possible we don’t label individual trees and we ask that visitors do not place their own plaques, labels, flowers, etc in the woodland. Each tree we plant should be seen as part of a natural woodland.
Before visiting this woodland, please read our Frequently Asked Questions page, which gives you helpful tips about your tree and visitor guidance.

Spring sees the arrival of the Brockholes baby boom, with record numbers of breeding wader birds year on year. You can also take a stroll through the beautiful bluebell woods.
In summer, the reserve is literally buzzing with a whole host of dragonfly, damselfy, butterfly and moths. Brockholes also attracts a range of over wintering birds.
Located right next to one of the UK's busiest motorways, Brockholes is a fantastic example of how wildlife can thrive with a little helping hand.
